There was a scary moment when George (picture - pre hideous disfigurement - right) top edged a full toss straight onto his forehead. Despite lots of blood, it was not so serious as to impair his rugged good looks and he was able to keep wicket later. Clearly shaken and in charitable mood, skipper Chris promptly chipped a dolly to Coton legend Jim Schwabe before Neil joined Senthil at the wicket. Several overs of block/bash/suicide singles ensued and with the odd interval for a run out (Mitchell), slogging (Norts) and self immolation (Pete), Coton reached the giddy heights of 147 for 9 off 15, (8 ball) overs.
Chris was soon tearing in and quickly removed the two openers. With Billy and Ed keeping it steady from the other end and wickets for Senthil, Mitchell and new boy Ross, Remnants never really threatened.
An excellent win and a perfect evening culminating in a swift half as the sun set. The summer starts here.

For a more Remnantscentric and consequently somewhat downbeat report of our glorious victory against Remnants, then follow the links to 'current season' and 'lost by 30 runs' at:

Cool. Though I'm disappointed not to get a mention - I mean 33 no! - that's not happening again any time soon!
Shame that you cannot play on Saturday as the author of the report will be playing for Romsey against us. You could have given him something else to write about...
