Remnants vs. Sharks

Wednesday, May 18, 2011
Fitzwilliam College

Remnants (132/8 in 14 8-ball overs)
lost to
Sharks (136/6 in 12.5 8-ball overs)
by 5 wickets.

Joe White reports that "Unfortunatley we lost by about 5 wickets with an over to spare - but it wasn't a hammering and was played in very good spirit. We scored 132 and they chased it down, mainly thanks to a big-hitting opener who got 40-ish. Tom Serby (64 off 53 balls) got most of our runs . . . and Paul Jordan got three wickets." Nicky Mellish scored the first innings and was thus also able to reveal a stunning debut performance by sometime Woozler Jeff Beaumont, who smashed 29* off just 13 balls at the end of our innings. Sally Hales, who scored for the whole match was able to reveal the even more intriguing fact that Paul only took one wicket . . .

. . . but lest it seem the details of this match are doomed to be lost to history, a Shark has provided his own match report, giving a much fuller picture of the game, even if viewed, understandably, from the opposite perspective.
