Poor Start To New Season

It's a pity the season doesn't start in a week or two. With half a team of players currently out injured/ill/holidaying or merely expecting to become parents, both the 1st & 2nd elevens kicked off with somewhat depleted sides. At least two sides were put out though which is more than some Clubs managed this weekend!

The 1st XI travelled to the home of newly promoted Gedling & Sherwood and what a splendid new facility they have down at Regatta Way. Despite the aforementioned availability problems, the personnel on display for Calverton really should have put up a better display. Acting Captain Richard Lee decided to have a bat first. There were no demons in the wicket, but an insipid display with the willow saw an early tea being taken as we were skittled for a paltry 65. Game over. G & S achieved the 'monster target' for the loss of one wicket. Back to the drawing board.

The 2nd XI hosted Underwood at GLA under the guidance of John Nester. Underwood batted first & totalled 201-8 from the allotted 45 overs. A splendid effort by the 'young uns' in taking eight wickets & keeping the score respectable. Special mention to Matt Dean & Brinsley Kirkham - well bowled.
A lot depended on Dad to be (still waiting) Scotty & Coach Leafe to get us off to a good start, which they did. But once Scott departed for 43 the target proved insurmountable. Still Matt Dean proved he can bat a bit as well, batting for some time & remaining not out at the end.

The Sunday XI chalked up the first 'win' of the season in unsatisfactory circumstances with a 'walkover'. Gotham should have been the visitors to GLA but rang up on Sunday morning saying they couldn't get a team.
