The Willows
won by 20 runs
Windy day, belter of a track, Willows chose to bat, lost a wicket in the first over, then raced ahead. Les Humphris top scored, playing wonderfully straight and through the covers and a bit less wonderfully past gully’s ears.
256 was always going to be enough. Tom Agnew took early wickets, pretty well everyone else chipped in with one or two more, and only field placings reminiscent of the Bodyline tour allowed King’s to get within sight of us. The boys represented themselves admirably but we, with a few exceptions, were far younger than most Willows teams, ergo far too good.
