An awesome effort from the entire team - congratulations to every person involved!
A steady accumulation of runs with Webko 42* and GG a quicker 25 plus other important contributions down the order saw us to 152/8 from the full 36. We could have folded as they bowled good lines all day, but held it out.
And then a good change of pace from GG saw a great running catch from Josh, before they had a smasher come out and crack 40 in nothing flat (yeah, I got 42 batting for nearly 26 overs, he took his 40 off about 5 overs...)
Nevertheless we stuck at it, with Webko putting himself on a hat-trick thanks to some smart thinking by JosH, and then D P-J making two vital break throughs, getting a dangerous looking batsman and then the smasher out within a couple of overs...
Which made the equation 20 with 1 wicket - their left-handed opener who had batted through the innings very patiently... he got the deficit down over the next few overs, but the reintroduction of Matthias with only a handful of runs left proved decisive.
First was a very very close LBW shout, followed by the identical ball not hitting the pads and removing his leg stump - Apaches FTW!
Special mention to Paul 'Insanity' Bochard, for bowling with a broken hand, Marty for some absolutely tireless running in the field, Valmik for some good batting and a lovely bowling spell, JoSh for some inspirational captaincy, GG, Matthias and D P-J as per above, Cammo for running around all over the field (long off to long off for most of the day) and CJ for some good batting and huge efforts in the field...
