Meynell v Lichfield Nomads

Meynell:  162 for 7
Lichfield Nomads: 96 for 5

Result:  Meynell won by 66 runs

Nomads travelled to play Meynell for the first time. The pitch looked a bit low and slow and so the opposition were allowed to bat first. They wished to play a 30 over match ( more time in the pub) and set off at a good pace. Hughes and Hoddy opened the bowling with Hughes being unlucky not to claim a wicket. An early change allowed the guest player Coles to bowl and he showed good pace keeping the opposition quiet and also claiming 2 wickets. Heslington was a bit erratic but coming off his short run steadied up and also claimed 2 wickets. P Blackburn filled in as the 5th bowler but was a bit rusty and conceded runs and so Pickering bowled the last over which included a run out and stumping. A number of catches were missed including one where Blackburn, P and Hughes went for the same ball and also a stumping and run-out could have been achieved. A total of 162 looked imposing.

 Nomads never really got going against some steady bowling. Gardner was out early to a disputable lbw. Coles and Weir briefly attacked the bowling but both were out to balls which kept low and then Pinfield (having had to send a fielder to collect his batting gloves which he had neglected to take out with him) and Heslington saw out the innings getting in some batting practice.

The opposition played to the conditions much better than we did , taking risks to score runs and keeping their bowling slow and steady and Nomads were well beaten.
