Report by Frank Furter

The O's were looking to bounce back after their first defeat of the season and they did it fine style with an 80 run 
victory over Woodford Green at home. 
With the O's winning the toss and electing to bat, it was Eddie Tooth yet again scoring the runs as he notched up a 
superb 86 from a score of 227 with also notable contributions by Barot (46) & Benjamin (38)
A magnificent Tina tea filled the stomachs of the 22 'cricketers' as the O's went out to field on a warm summers 
afternoon.
Dan Auton opened the bowling with Neal Patel and both bowlers did a good job keeping the pressure on the openers from 
the start.
It was a strange innings from the visitors who never really chased the total and appeared to be quite happy just 
ticking the board over. Fortunately the mean attack of the O's smelt the 9000 left over hot-dogs and were in no mood 
to muck about. Revell got the opener and  3 with good catches from Martin behind the stumps and Matty at cover. This 
was followed by a devastating spell by the Sri Lankan Volcano Arnie Kumar who picked up three quick wickets for just 
10 runs. Mulholland grabbed an LBW and then Auton returned to finish off the tail with nice figures of 3-34.
A great response by the O's and solid win setting themselves up nicely for the mid-season break for the big play off 
final with those Yorkie boys Rovrum to come next Sunday…………...What could wrong! O's 2-0 up and blow it on pens????????
No chance!
