Again we were lucky to have a sunny evening to play the match in (in a summer of almost continual rain!). The outfield was especially lush and so it wasn't a great surprise that we started slowly against some tight bowling with Jeff hitting some lusty blows that only got 2 rather than reaching the boundary. A mid innings collapse stalled the scoring until Rob and Andy accelerated with some sharp running, which innevitably led to both of them being run out (off the last two balls of the innings). Toyota's reply started with Tim clean bowling their openner first ball, but after that they never looked back. Many clean strikes put our efforts in the shade as they reached the boundary with ease (sometimes clearing it off Paul L's bowling) and we only got some relief when two of their bats had retired having scored 30+. They strolled home with 4 overs to spare.
