Burntwood St Matthews v Lichfield Nomads

This may have been a resurrected fixture to a team Nomads have played in the past. However as a replacement fixture for Blythe Bridge , this proved a fixture to be retained. After being put into bowl Nomads opening pair Brannigan and Heslington bowled really well on a lively pitch unlucky only to take a wicket each but restricting the opposition to fewer than 3/over. Hughes replaced Brannigan and continued bowling tightly. A score of under 150 for the opposition looked likely,. However by this time Crossfield had come in to bat and started to attack the bowling . A solitary over by Greaves went for 17 and Hoddy and Cartwright brought on to close the innings were cruelly dispatched to all parts of the ground. And St Matthews reached a score of 209.

A larger than expected score looked a difficult  target which got harder after Gardner was run out for only 7. Heslington scored quickly and was backed up by Rolfe after Jackson was soon out. Cartwright and Hughes also added a few runs but Nomads never looked likely to attain the target. A respectable score of 154 spared Nomads blushes and the after match discussion was if we had got Crossfield out earlier when he offered chances would the result have been different.
