Team Moreton crush Aston

Firstly this weeks photo was sent in by a Crime watch viewer who was traumatised by seeing this man. Police are still looking for him, but suspect he may have disguised himself by adding some "features" to his featureless face. If you see anyone looking like this, please don't be afraid, contrary to his appearance, he's fairly harmless, and usually misses


Right- on with the cricket..................................

Aston is a neighbouring village; it's also a place near Bampton, who we were scheduled to play, but last night Aston, a suburb of Bermingggum, turned up here by mistake. We politely accepted the challenge, and batted first in glorious sunshine, albeit on an unrolled wicket thanks to mechanical problems with the club roller. Ed (28) & Tim(19) got us off to a flier with 50 on the board in 5 overs, and Bomber(26*) continued the good work with a mixture of 6's & "play and misses" that infuriated their Capt Brummy Wind Bag so much that he nearly stopped gobbing off, much to our amusement. Robbo smacked another quickfire 28 and Jonny chipped in with a few for a change, including a glorious straight 6. A formidable total was on the cards. Sam retained the yellow jersey, I mean yellow hat, as duck race leader with yet another -is that 6?.Thompy came on for the last over, and BWB remembered "our Graham" the forgotten bowler of the team. By the end of the over he was wishing his memory had failed him completely as Thompy thumped 28 off "our kid" in just 6 balls. A lorra lorra runs in a short innings ! A target of 164 was set, and BWB was heard rallying his team in the dressing room. " Don't worray Dudlaaay lads, woil hit it owt the park easay- oi right mayt"

Al & Jonny opened the bowling and Al bowled particularly well, picking up 2 wickets. Jonny was wicketless, but claimed 2 catches. Thompy & Wicksy chipped in with wickets too, and once they were 4 down, the game was over for the visitors, and a visit to a Swiss clinic was in order. They failed to take the many hints about beer, so it was left to Westy to blitz them out with a 4 wicket haul. Great fielding, particularly from Bahamas Bomber, who must be on speed, & tidy keeping from Robbo behind the stumps- no dropped catches methinks ?

Jonny's post match summary..................

"I really enjoyed messing around with the kids at Blewbury last week, but playing with the big boys is even better "
