This was one of those games where you come away thinking, 'If we'd got another 30 runs...', or 'If we'd got one more breakthrough..' i.e. we were well beaten.
We batted first and scored around 170-8 in 35 overs. Top scorer was Selfish Batter, who donated 80 runs to the team cause. Moyners showed us what we'd been missing this season with a few hefty swings of the formica. Simon D made his CCC debut and left with his honour intact on 1 not out.
After tea, our lack of bowling options was soon exposed. Lurpak was his usual reliable self but things got away from us after his early strikes. The only consolation was that, when it came, the coup de grâce was delivered by a stylish Welshman.
Back in the Hare & Billet, the Chairman provided confirmation that we hadn't quite been on the ball all day. As we shared a packet of crisps, he pitched his Dragons' Den idea of marketing Quavers as a practical scoop solution for a bowl of peanuts. Not for the first time that afternoon, a group of Cincers had to turn to the Skipper and mutter, "I'm out".

Word is, the Chairman's gone off to the Patent Office to see if anyone's spotted this Quaver idea before.
Looking for investors in;
"Quaveyscope The Savoury Utensil"
