It’s a Batsman’s Game

“It’s a Batsman’s Game!” the bowlers shout. Well, from the looks of the weekend, just around now they may have a point. Lots of runs while wickets were certainly hard to come by. A satisfactory day for the Stags, with three wins, two draws and a loss. Some great scores, particularly from Jamie Bekis (165*)…

Just a Lousy Day!

Rain wrecked five of the six games on Saturday. Thirds were able to play for long enough to win but all the other games were washed out, some with Gordon in a good position, and some perhaps fortuitously. 1st Grade The Firsts declared at their over the week score. However, after a couple of overs…
