MATCH REPORT
Flora Doris on
Tuesday 11th May 2004 at Blackheath
Blackheath v Guildford City
Blackheath won the toss and elected to bat on a
wicket that was quite soft due to the heavy rain for the past 2 weeks.
We made 99 for 4 off 16 overs, which was a
reasonable score and we felt quite confident going in at half time. The pick
of the batsmen was the Aussie, Leigh "Alfie" Alford,
dispatching Guildford City's attack all over the park with consummate ease. He
made a superb 55no on his Blackheath debut.
Blackheath started well in the field and had City
at 31 for 4 in reply after 6 overs, Alford and Clive Ennis taking 2 a piece.
Paul Nash dropped a difficult swirling catch at square leg, which would have
made the score 38 for 5, however City recovered and ended up winning the match
with 4 wickets in hand and 11 balls to spare.
