For the second week running we were pitched against a team at the top of the table this time away at Port Sunlight. Given the overnight rain and the constant drizzle throughout the morning the wicket was surprisingly firm although the outfield was wet. We won the toss and opted to bat. Carl Brannon battled through for a fine 56 before falling LBW to what would be the first ball of a hat trick with David Buey (Bowled) and Mark Rayner (LBW) the other victims. Sean Marnick played well for his 29 but the only other notable score was 15 from Ben Rees. Our innings closed on 126 from 36 overs. The home side got off to a solid start and it was clear early on that it would be a tough task to restrict them. Stew Mc took two wickets one of them courtesy of an outstanding catch from Jordan Langton who covered a lot of ground running in from the boundary before diving full length and clasping both hands around the ball. It was as good a catch as you would see anywhere in any game. Victory was secured by Port Sunlight in the 17th over despite another decent fielding performance in difficult conditions.
