Legge's Eleven Update

A quick update on the progress of our Sunday XI.

A few Sunday's ago saw the trip south across the Leicestershire border to play at the beautiful Woodhouse Eaves ground.

Woodhouse scored 202 and we replied with 166 all out. The match was played in the usual great spirit, apart from the home side bowling bouncers at Leggy, one of which connected!!!

Highlights for us were a "career best, run a ball 44" from Leggy (his description) to follow bowling figures of 4-1-7-2, for a greedy man of the match award. Beaky scored 17, Liam 18, Billy 11 including two lovely cover drives, and Dimps 13 including 2 sixes.

The Youth Policy's Ben & Isaac took 2 wickets each from 8 overs apiece. Ben also took a lovely catch at extra cover off the Skipper's bowling. And both the lads had twenty-something partnerships with Leggy even though they only scored 5 and 0. Isaac's Dad took a lovely over the shoulder catch at mid-on, after stepping in at last minute when JB failed a vet's inspection.
