We won the toss on a dodgy looking track (the groundsman turned up at tea to apologise) and SS raced away feeding off our generous bowling. Dennis fell flat on his face bowling the first ball of the season with the ball going directly to mid off. He was then excused to put his studs on. The farce continued with a rash of dropped catches and hopeless mis-fields. Aherne, though, was a demon with 3 wickets in the top order.
Our reply to the challenge was disappointing as SS were under-manned in the bowling department. We conceded a couple of sloppy wickets and failed to find the boundary often enough. The runs dried up and we ran out of time and we were left to rue our poor start.
