Bedouins v Enville O40s – rematch – Wednesday July 3

Enville won by 51 runs

After losing several games against the Bedouins in recent history, Enville came to win this one. With a sprinkling of first and second team players in their side, it was always going to be a hard slog for the Beds. And that it was. So I’m going to skirt over most of this game as it turned out to be a bit of a farce.

Enville’s innings – well they finished on 142 for 3. There weren’t many highlights for the Bedouins except to say that Smith N, deputising behind the stumps made two very sharp stumpings, both off Gregory who bamboozled the batsmen with flight and swing. He finished with 2 for 24 from his 4 overs. Branch was skipper for the night as Jono had legged it to Benidorm, and the former was the only other bowler to claim a wicket although Robinson only conceded 15 off his 4 overs.

In reply there was really only one highlight and it wasn’t Susman’s second ball duck. Ludlow in at 3 again showed what a classy batsman he is, playing some nice shots in his 32 retired. in truth Bedouins never looked like getting anywhere near Enville’s total and the game petered out with Bedouins finishing on 91 for 3.
