Another satisfying result for the current team of the moment. A difficult one to decide whether to bat or bowl first but we batted and got a reasonable start. Hythe’s bowling was good in that it was tight and difficult to score off on an untypical Park track, which is a new one, it did help the bowler. However we did capitalise on the bad ball and lots of bad catching and fielding. AA got another solid looking 90, and a superb cameo role by Si Wren hitting 38 not out was good to see, despite the oxygen tank needed after! Towse again chipped in with a few and the others got out just trying to push things along, we finished up on 212 which as I say was a good score on quite a difficult batting track against straight bowling.
   In reply Hythe got off to the worst start possible losing both openers in the the first 3 overs, and further tight bowling from Dom in particular made it difficult for them. The only real batsman who’s scored the majority of Hythe’s runs this season was always going to be the key wicket and after a few shots slid off thick edges or flew through the air you knew you were in with a chance. He finally fell to Dom after some great work containing him as best as possible, at point with a nice little catch by someone or other.
   After that a few bashed it about a bit but with Bear on, bowling as he has done pretty much all season they were never realistically going to get it and he soon took 4 wickets for not very many again. AA came on towards the end and took his 2 wickets including the all important last wicket as the last two batsmen looked very solid and there was concern about picking the last wicket up. Hobo once again was key behind the stumps and continues his fine form with a stumping and two further catches, still clearly the best keeper we’ve seen in our league.
 
Once again a good performance in the field, keeping it tight so singles were limited holding catches where and when it came to it and backing up stumps and each other clearly shone through and showed the better side, it was impressive.
   Now that BOCA have slipped up and Hayes to a degree, we must now push onwards and upwards and continue our progress to really secure that possible promotion place. Lets not get excited, keep your feet on the ground, keep working, keep trying, each game as it comes and relax and we’ll be fine I’m sure.

Well done again everyone
