Rolls Royce Leisure v Lichfield Nomads

Nomads struggled to raise a team against new opponents and played with 2 guests, Ian Terry and James Fearon, son of Paul, both of whom acquitted theselves well. The facilities were not as good as anticipated at the well appointed Rolls-Royce Social Club and in particular one of the boundaries was only some 30 yards away from the wicket.

Rolfe lost the toss, unusually for him, and Nomads bowled. Hutton and Lloyd Taylor bowled spendidly having the batsmen in a lot of trouble and keeping the scoring to a minimum. However 3 dropped catches proved costly and with the change of bowling and the batsmen using their League experience to enter T20 mode to target the short boundary, the score began to mount. Hughes in particular was savaged. However he did get a wicket with a typical Forster catch at mid-off and the other opener retired which was to prove contentious later on. Fearon (Sen) and Hoddy entered the fray and slowed the run-rate to 5 per over. Hoddy started to take wickets aided by good catches and a stumping, ending up with a total of 6, although the opposition scorers allowed him to bowl 9 overs. At this point the retired batsman wanted to return, but our rules expert, Hughes, pointed out that no prior agreement had been made and it was also suggested that the opposition total was sufficient. No tea had been provided, as was known,  and indeed the club seemed shut for the bank holiday and with the light threatening to fade a quick turnaround was accomplished.

The opposition bowling proved more than adequate and really no one contributed greatly to the score. Stanley ground things out to earn a welcome 21 and guest, Ian Terry, accumulated 15, but good catches and bowling in depth proved too good for the Nomads who scored only 90 runs.

The opposition were of too high a standard, undoubtedly containing League players. There were hints that this was not the usual team but nevertheless this was not an enjoyable match for Nomads who do not mind losing as long as things are not too one-sided.
