Last Wednesday evening the Midweek XI travelled to Birdlip and secured an impressive win to cement their position on top of the Division 2 table.
After losing the toss and bowling first the home team were restricted to just 118 from their 20 overs for the loss of 9 wickets. Wickets for skipper Dan Anderson (4-0-40-2), Dan Hockaday (4-0-13-2), Greg Artus (3-0-10-2) who was denied a first career hat trick due to a drop in the field. Wickets apiece for Rich Edginton and John Hargreaves completed the bowling. A lot of tight fielding and bowling especially from Hockaday and Artus kept the score low and the league leaders confident of chasing it down.
In a well paced and steady reply the Midweek XI reached their target after 18 overs thanks mainly to Gary Morgan (31), Rich Edginton (28) and finally Tony Campbell who delivered some clever running and appreciation of the gaps in the field to score 28 to see the team home alongside skipper Anderson who finished on 14 not out.
