Match Report
Date - 06/09/09 
Oppo – Upminster (a)
Type – 40 Overs
Report by Liam Mulholland.

The O`s finished the season in fine style obliterating Upminster by 5 wickets with 56 balls to spare. Winning the toss 
on a good track and lightening fast outfield Upminster had their sights set on score well in excess of 200 but not today 
as the O`s produced one of their best bowling performances of the season restricting Upminster to 161-8 after 40 overs.`
The Voice` picking up the best figures of 3-24 which took his tally to a seasons best figure of 27 wickets.Even though 
they only collected 2 wickets between them the opening spell of a rejuvenated Tooth and the returning Wicks from his 
fetlock strain were key to the bowling performance.The O`s fancied their chances with a very long batting line up but 
they were set back when L.Mulholland was cleaned up by left arm Tigg in the first over but enter a fully charged 
Terminator who crashed his first ball for a blistering boundary,Termo was in destruction mode today as he smashed his 
way to a rapid 62 to set the O`s on their way to victory on his dismissal a message flashed up on his forehead reading 
`Season over i`ll be back in April`.At the other end Tooth continued his fine run of form with another classy 64 not out 
to see the O`s home hitting a mammoth straight 6 which the bowler chirped `that is the worst cricket shot i have ever 
seen`,interesting comment as the ball sailed into Hornchurch.Tooth eventually finishing the season with an incredible 
batting average of 84.4 even though `Vorderman` Parkes came up with a figure of 11.64.A fine way to finish the season 
and a big thanks to skipper Richardson and all the players for making it another enjoyable season.
