Following a week of heavy rain, the
idea of playing a game of cricket seemed a remote prospect.
However Langley managed to shake off the weather and prepare
a wicket to accommodate a game. Winning the toss,
Chesterfords captain Wazz Mughal put the home team into bat.
Chesterfords started well, with opening bowlers James Pullen
(10 overs 0 for 17) and Mughal himself (6 overs 0 for 34)
applied early pressure keeping runs to a minimum. Adam Miles
(10 overs 1 for 34) and Walter Jackson (10 overs 1 for 54)
continued in the same manner. David Perring was the
outstanding bowler of the day taking 4 wickets for 48 off
his 9 overs. Some sloppy fielding and missed catches
together with some good batting by the Langley batsmen
allowed the score to creep up to a respectable 199 for 6
In reply, Chesterfords got off to the
worst possible start, losing David Lightning, Paul Phillips,
James Pullen and David Perring for the addition of only 8
runs. Only Wazz Mughal (23) and Greg Watson (22) broke into
double figures, as Langley destroyed the Chesterfords
batting line-up reducing them to 75 all out.
