Match Report Date 22/05/16 Oppo South Loughton (h) Type 40 Overs Report by Oliver Marsh (First ever report) On a not so hot day at Barkingside, LOSCC came up against South Loughton for a 40 Overs Match. Skipper Simon Heed won the toss and elected to bat first and opened with Bob Marsh (54 not out) and Salman Rana (10) it was looking ok until Rana was bowled then quick wickets saw Danny and Matt out for a duck. Chigs came in at 5 hit a couple of good strokes until he was caught from a good catch. Riches came in at 6 and were looking like it was going to be a good partnership with Marsh but not until he was run out for 8. Captain Heed was in at 7 hit a good 4 till he was caught for 12. Mulholland was in at 8 and got a partnership of 38 with Bob Marsh and finished 15 not out even though it took him 12 balls to get off the mark. After an Andrew Humphrey tea for the first time (lovely tea Andy expect the dry cakes) LOSCC went out to field. Chigs (6-0-17-1) and Karen Shah (8-1-13-2) Both Bowled great line and picked up good wickets on the way. After the opener’s spell Rana (8-0-15-0) and Chintan Shah (7-0-28-0) where both \unlucky not to get wickets but bowled great line and length. After Shah and Rana’s 7 and 8 Captain Heed brought on young Liam Mulholland (6-0-25-2) and Oliver Marsh (5-0-16-4) to the attack both bowled great line.
