Legge's Eleven

Salad days on Sunday over at Colston Bassett as even a comprehensive defeat couldn't spoil a beautiful Summer day for Legge's Eleven.

Back LtoR: Adonis, Harrison.P, Sheriff, Dimps, Dearden, Soar
Front LtoR: Drury, Harrison.B, Hogg, Elliott.L, Disorderly.D

Our batting lacked a bit of experience as both young and old ran out of patience as we slumped to 25-6. Drurs made 39, and with a bit of help from old friend Extras, and fellow veterans Baldrey, Hallam and Beeton, we posted 78 all out, just in time for tea.

Tea time was boosted by news that Newcastle were one down.


To use the common football vernacular, there were plenty of 'positives' to take out of our bowling reply. Leggy bowled tightly and Mr Dearden took two wickets, steadily finding his radar. Billy bowled a promising spell of left arm seam and JB sent down his usual mix of flight and guile without luck.

The highlight though was the return of the Sheriff after over a year out through injury. Cowlard's decision to offer Dave a two year contract had been looking as wise as Mike Ashley's investment in the Geordies, but the Sheriff slotted straight back into an immaculate five over spell. Hopefully Dave isn't feeling too stiff this morning!!

We didn't get any more wickets, but a fun day out for all.
