Blythe Bridge CC v Lichfield Nomads CC
Scores: Blythe
Bridge CC 18 for 1, Lichfield Nomads CC – did not bat
Miserable weather ruins trip to Blythe
A terrible midweek
forecast eventually bore fruit as the Nomads game against Blythe Bridge was
abandoned as a draw due to persistent, driving rain. Just seven overs were
bowled. Fearon picked up a useful wicket courtesy of an outstanding catch from
Dan Moss in the covers.
Nomads arrived
early and the opposition were recovering from the previous night’s end of season
do and an 18th birthday party. Start of play was delayed by light
rain and the decision was taken to take an early tea. Various mobile phone apps
were pressed into action in search of the latest satellite weather forecast and
the prospect of a break in the rain. After tea, the rain had stopped so the
players took to the field in dark, freezing conditions. Brannigan and Fearon
opened the bowling and Fearon grabbed an early wicket thanks to an excellent
catch by Dan Moss in the covers.
The rain then
arrived with a vengeance. The teams carried on but when the misty drizzle turned
into heavier rain the players sought the shelter of the pavilion and the game
was abandoned.
The Nomads retired
to the pub where they were regaled with an interesting and insightful monologue
on the financial dealings of the Aston Villa board from the Mid 1960’s to the
Randy Lerner era.
