Match Report Date 16/06/13 Oppo – Clapham In CC (h) Type – 40 overs Report by Ife adlistened O's played new visitors Clapham Inn CC who were so pleased to make it to Barkingside in one piece they promptly displayed their club flag all around the club similar to the Norwegians beating Scott to the North Pole. After much pleading from Heed that the standard of the team today was weak to diabolical their skipper was having none of it and put the O's in on a damp looking track. Our worse fears followed as the ball was jumping of a length against a very decent bowling attack Marsh & Kumar quickly departed leaving Mulholland and Marvel to put the innings together this was quickly dashed when Marvel tried to force the old boy to run a 7 at with the obvious conclusion the old boy's hammy tightened up on the 1st run and off he departed to sick bay.O's battled to get a final score of 118-7 of their 40 overs skipper Heed top scoring with 30. As expected the visitors romped home with the loss of only 3 wickets despite a decent spell from gangster Weeks,in future guys listen to honest Simon and you could have had a decent bat. Next up Spitalfields away.
