The Willows batted first and were soon under the pump. A father and son battle was put to rest after a handful of balls when dad Ian McKendry couldn’t resist looking to put his son Flynn back over his head, only to have his middle stump dismantled. After being 5/46 The Willows tailed wagged. First old boy James Baxendale and veteran Tim McConnell got things going. Then St Thomas coach, Ben Rapson hiding down at number eight, came out and with skipper Mike Peacock steered us through to a respectable total of 240/9.

In reply, STCC found themselves up against some very clever bowling from Kelvin Scott who did not give one loose ball, in picking up a nice five wicket bag. Harrison Watkins (41) batted well putting away any bad ball but was unable to find support from the other end. STCC were all out for 120. Thank you to all involved and especially the STCC family and supporters who attended to make it a great day.
