Lichfield Nomads Cricket Club : Match Reports 2005

With Nomads arriving early, an early start to the game was made due to the threat of rain. Nomads elected to bat first. Although a steady start was made, Gardner fell first victim for 3. All the early batsmen got to double figures but fell by they way. Stubborn resistance by Yorkie Caygill and Fuzz Weir pushed the score toward three figures. The rain arrived in the 34th over calling an end to the innings on 109 for 7.

Play resumed after tea with Church Eaton requiring 110 off 33 overs, some sort of Blackburn / Pinfield formula. Both Heslington and Hoddy put the pressure on the home side taking early wickets. Some poor fielding and a lack of front line bowlers saw Church Eaton through with overs to spare for the loss of 4 wickets.
