Match Report
Date - 29/07/07 
Oppo – Presidents XI (h)
Type – 40 Overs
Report by Liam Mulholland

The O`s crashed to new lows with the mother of all beatings by the Presidents team.
A confident Presidents skipper chose to bat on a green damp wicket,
the sight of Dave Revell opening the batting fired up the the east end mobster who after a volley of verbals(concrete overcoat,sleeping with the fishes,usual gangster threats)
produced a nasty throat ball in the first over which flew off the edge to second slip 
where it ping ponged off Coopers hands,fags & lighter before being safely held by the evergreen Heed in his wheelchair at first slip.
Sadly this was as good it gets for the O`s as the Presidents then butchered the bowling to all parts,
Bear(71) & Wilson (74) with some massive sixes on the way the Presidents finally ending the carnage on 247-7 which was at least 80 too many on that wicket.
Mulholland taking 3 catches and Wicks ending with 3 wickets.
In reply the O`s lost Cooper,Tooth & James all caught by spiderman Revell in the slips,Revell ending on 4 catches plus a drop for a possible 5.
The Presidents toyed with the O`s bringing on the youthful Williams & Watkins boys who cleaned up the tail between them.
The O`s failed to limp into 3 figures and were bowled out for a desperate 97.
 
Champagne moment of the day-the look of horror on the tea ladies face on hearing she is preparing tea for Chappo & Tibby next week
