Battle of Moreton is lost..............

Internal politics saw our very own secret weapon "Bomber" donated to the enemy; this was no goodwill gesture, just an error of judgement. Herr Miles looked pretty pleased with his new acquisition, and although Peter is no "oil painting"





(Peter plans the downfall of his teammates -
"I will fight them on the beaches...............")




he is certainly a club "treasure" and should be treated accordingly; (i.e. kept for our own personal amusement !)

Batting first, MCC won the early skirmishes, as Tim claimed aerial superiority over the visitors, but wickets kept going down, and even Sam's brave resistance was ultimately futile, as Miele, took no prisoners, and blitzed us out with Teutonic efficiency.

101 was never going to be enough to challenge Miele, and even "Bomber" taxied out to the middle looking confident in his new role. "Double fisting" is Peter's modus operandi, and he proceeded to bash a few out of the park, before returning to the pavilion to show his new friends how he did it.

So a disappointing end to our unbeaten home record, but thankfully peace was restored afterwards in The Bear over a curry & a pint or six.
