Top Heavy Leggy

Legge's Sunday Eleven won away at Ellerslie giving our Youth Policy more valuable match experience. We made 120 odd, mainly thanks to 50 from Beakey. The innings ended in the last over predictably with Leggy triggered first ball.

Tea was once again one of the best. Prawn mayonnaise cobs were a joy, fruit loaf a close second, though the Youth Policy were more interested in the jelly beans and marshmallows, sending them out early for hyper-active practice while the old heads settled in for a second cuppa.

Our bowling was splendid with youngsters Josh Stolworthy and Ben Healey bowling great spells. Fielding was the usual comical excellence. See-Soar tried in vain to claim an assist after dropping a fierce drive only for Beakey to strike a run out with a direct hit.

Even more predictably The Boss was at his princely best. A leading edge saw our hero scuttle from slip to pouch the catch, only for his high centre of gravity to take over and topple into a heap of flailing arms and legs, giving plenty of case study material for the juniors studing Newton's laws of physics. Leggy blamed his three course roast pork evening meal for his top heavy over-balancing, and a bad ankle from tripping down the stairs - not bad for one who lives in a bungalow!!

Harry Stolworthy wrapped things up with a great four wicket burst to bowl the home side out for 80.
