Rockie - still fibbing about his age as 10-man Cincers score two victories in one day

Two triumphs in one day, plus top-notch brownies - Sunday's encounter was paradise on earth for Cincers but hell for the London Saints.
Cincers' first-ever hatrick - Testmatch, take a bow - Craig's 4 for and Adam S's stunning keeping left Saints self-shocked.
A 10-man team minus Big Jim, Selfish, the Vice-skip, the Chairman (need I go on? 'No, shut up') reduced Saints to 60 all out in Elstree after the Skip won the toss and put the oppo in with debutants Greg and Russ still not at the ground. The M1, a nightmare apparently.
Saints started as they meant to continue with an opener getting run out without facing a ball (smart fielding from Ben Ellery whose brother Finn played for Saints).
Craig 'Light under a Bushel' Woodhouse stole the bowling headlines with 4 for 14 off seven while everyone else chipped in including Sam Ladbury who played despite a mighty hangover (Will, are you reading this?)
Rockie turned in a wicket maiden while the Skip took the final wicket just to thwart Craig's five for.
Cincers then got the runs for the loss of just one wicket (step forward the Skip, out to a sharp catch at first slip for an nose-bleeding eight!) while Testmatch notched up 39 not out.
Time for a beer match of 10 overs and mass run-out suicides by Cincers (Greg and Russ, my office, please).
Hang on! There's Max smashing the ball to all corners. Up the order next game, Lord Rashbrooke.
Rules were one over each apart from keeper Adam. Just enough balls for Testmatch to take Cincers' first hatrick! 'Does it count, Skip?' Sure does, if only because the tea-time brownies from Mrs R. were award-winning.
Behind the sticks, Adam turned in a superb spell of keeping all day, with three stumpings in the short game (one off the Skip and two off Craig) plus a brilliant run-out although credit (most of it) must go to the Skip for bellowing 'Bowler's!' in his left lughole. After all, Adam's throw that took the stumps out at 24 yards was just mechanics once he'd got directions.
Saints needed six of the last ball to win but Rockie's 'drifter' (he calls it his faster one) baffled the oppo's last man.
Thanks to oppo skipper Peter and the Saints team for being such sports and good hosts on a tough day for them.
