On sunday the sun shone and a collection of parents and coaches had a great afternoon at scotton cricket club. Unfortunately the scorchers representative side lost (on the second to last ball) to scotton cricket club but they didn't go down without a fight!
Scorchers batted first and scored a very respectable 121 runs with Mike Baker carrying his bat after a very elegant innings.
Darren 'Tuffers' Navier then bowled magnificently ably assisted by Ian Pollock, Alex and others unfortunately Captain Black didn't take the neccesary catches and let his bowlers down.
Jamie Bird took an absolute corker of a catch (off his own bowling!),the standard of cricket all round was generally good but Scotton CC knocked the winning runs off Eddie's bowling to wrap up a magnificent day.
Well done to all players and a HUGE thankyou to all who helped out on the day and to all who came along and supported the day, it was great to see so many smiling faces on the day.
Lets hope the Scorchers can equal the scores when they take on the cricketers at football.
Keep an eye out on here for that date.
