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.
