Ongar Cricket Club Lost

Match report Ongar won the toss and elected to bat
The innings started badly with Suker the talsiman leader of the team being felled by a snipper from the wid life sanctuary. Someone remarked it probably was elephant poachers but the skipper thinks it was a hired hit man. Adcock soon followed in his normal fasion which brought the Ongar old boys of Dick and Wood to the crease. Dick soon started to dispatch the ball to all parts of the ground ably supported by Wood who farmed the bowling as much as possible. The stand lasted untill Ongar reached 199 when Dick being troubled by a pulled muscle ran him self out on 109. Wood soon followed caught going for another boundry on 58. Young Suker followed quickly and then Paris who was controversially run out on 19 by a dodgy umpiring decssion. Overy chipped in with a quick 16 then Daggers and Thorby had a stand, with Thorby contributing 0 off 2 balls. Thorby was delighted though as this was the first time that he had not got a golden duck on this wicket. Young Dick came to the crease and he and Daggers saw the score to 271 when the skipper declared. Benfleet started with all guns blazing chasing a generous decleration. Ongar struck quickly with a run out but then had to work very hard for any further rewards. With the skipper unable to field, Dick and Wood being injured the catches and heads started to drop and Benfleet made quick progress and reached the target for 4 wickets down with 12 overs left. In hindsight the declaration may have been too generous on such a good wicket with small boundries but you have to risk losing sometimes in order to win (remember Old Parks).
