Chagford 6-a-side Tournament

Post date: Jul 6, 2008 3:58:07 PM

Gary, Addy, Neil, Butler, Sam and Charlie played at the Chagford 6's on Sunday 6th. Rain delayed the start and we got 2 games in before the tournament was abandoned as the weather came in again. In the middle, Addy and Gary scored an undefeated 67 which proved to be enough with Butler slowing the reply with a wicket after lulling the batsman into a false sense of security with a wide and a couple of full tosses. In the second game we bowled first and the opposition only made it to 38 with "wicket machine", Butler taking another wicket, a run-out and a catch. In reply, Charlie was only consoled in his diamond duck by the fact that miraculously he was the most economical Briddy bowler for the day and Niel and Addy had no problem running down the modest total with 3 of the 5 overs remaining. The rain came back down with no sign of abatement and so at that point the tournament was abandoned.
