Four seasons in one day!!! With fresh snow on the surrounding hills the prospect of cricket seemed slim. However the covers had kept the pitch dry but the rest of the block was unplayable. The resources of the Club know no bounds as a helicopter was called to help the drying process. After an early lunch a 40 over match commenced.
The Willows lost the toss and were asked to bat. After a promising start by Sam Noster, Tom Latham and Henry Nicholls, the pressure applied by the Wellington bowlers and fielders took its toll and wickets fell regularly in pursuit of quick runs. After being 132/2 we finished 165/8. Harry Boam and Scott Archer being the chief destroyers.
Mathew Teale and Peter Younghusband were the pick of The Willows bowlers, each claiming a wicket. However Harry Boam along with Vinnie Ward proved too good for us and put together a partnership of 105 to secure a comfortable win.
