In what the boys classed as a title deciding match, they faced Cannon Fodder, a team capable of snatching the title from them, and with Wakey in Sri Lanka (sunbathing with Eric Lummis), Cobley was recalled into the side
Taking to the field, Louba continued his fine form, taking 2 wickets, Cobley also made an instant impact, taking 2 of his own. Lawley bowled consistently taking 1, and Monkey finished tidy taking 1 aswell.
1st skin = 4
Marshy took a wicket with his 1st ball, and Goode followed suit, also taking 1 on his 1st AND 2nd ball. Nelly, struggled to bowl through injury, was very expensive, but Browny pulled it back, taking 2
2nd skin = 10, total = 14
Cobley and Louba finished their overs, taking a wicket a piece. Goode took 2 more, and Monkey seemed like an animal possessed, taking 4 wickets in 7 balls, taking his 1st 5 wicket haul this seaon, finishing with figures of 5 wickets for -6 runs.
3rd skin = 3, total = 17
Lawley went wicketless, and Marshy picked up 1. Nelly returned and tidied his figures up, taking 3 wickets in 5 balls, and Browny finished up wicketless
4th skin = 12, total = 29
The boys seemed to save their best bowling/fielding performance until the crucial game and put themselves in a great position for maximum points
Lawley and Monkey opened up with the former continuing his fine form with the bat, even striking a 7 and although the pair lost 2 wickets in their final over, still put the boys in a commanding position
1st skin = 23
Marshy and Cobley teamed up for the first time in a few weeks, and Marshy for the 2nd game in a row, was out 1st ball, and struggled to recover. Cobley at the other end seemed assured and confident, picking up a healthy 19
2nd skin = 23, total = 46
Goode and Louba continued their fine partnership with the latter hitting another big innings with 27
3rd skin = 35, total = 81
Browny and Nelly put together a solid partnership and although lost 2 wickets in the final over, still made enough to seal the skin and the full 14 points
4th skin = 26, total = 107
With 1 hand on the title, and 1 game remaining (to be played tomorrow), the boys are looking over their shoulders at Hippo, who need big wins in all their remaining games to stand a chance of snatching the title away from them. By this time tomorrow, the boys should know if they are Div 3 champions.
