Although they are new to the comp you couldn't tell by the way they
were fielding. United Boys were all over the fielding with great run
outs, catches and a great spirit on the court. We managed a hard
fought 104 runs with highlights being a fantastic 22 runs from Tim
showing form once again with the bat with a six to boot and yours
truly smacking a much needed 6 to undo a brilliant run out by the
United Boys.
But once Blackout turned to the field it was pretty obvious that these
United Boys were in trouble. Sad too as I was looking forward to a
tightly fought game as they promised to deliver the goods with their
fielding performance. They managed only 10 runs a pair except for the
last pair grabbing a spirited 22 runs. Some brilliant fielding was
shown up the back including a direct hit run out from the back net to
the keepers in by Tim! Ryan also showed great agility up the back with
many run out attempts and an awesome display to take out a one handed
catch despite 2 other Blackout guys surrounding him. Overall we
managed to grab all four skins largely thanks to some vicious bowling
by everyone. Particularly Mark nabbing 2 bowled out wickets in the
precious final over to secure the fourth skin.
