Match Report Date - 07/08/08 Oppo – Woodgreen (a) Type – 40 Overs Report by Dave Revell A beautiful day in the New Forest greeted both sets of players for the last game of the O's tour for 2008. The day started with flat-track Bob James smashing his way to over 1000 runs for the O's and broken toe Coops finally getting in the runs this season. These two plus Liam's 1 thousandth 50 for the club, and runs from Simon and Eddie managed to put the O's score from 40 overs to 233 for 3 from their 40 overs. The O's took the field dragging the overhung Vince from the boot of Coop's car where he had spent the last 36 hours sleeping off the marathon boozing session that started Monday lunchtime! Despite this he still managed to bowl 1 wicket maiden along with the O's new bowling sensation, Martin Riches, who managed to match Vince's contribution with the ball and the booze. Some brilliant fielding from Dan Riches and some appalling fielding from Dave Revell's chest saw the O's restrict Woodgreen to 174 for 8 from their 40 overs. Down the pub, grub and more booze!
