Team News
*ATTENTION ALL CRICKETERS!*
Could I just ask you all please to make a huge effort to make yourselves available for Sunday fixtures. Sunday friendly games are the perfect opportunity for batsman who want time at the wicket or bowlers who just want a bowl. Whoever you are we need you! Unless things change we may have to re-think our Sunday teams.

OD cuaco Sunday team v Petts Wood
With another star struck team including Worsley, Woods, Mew and of course Bondy, the Sunday boys were ready for another challenge this week a slightly different challenge of Petts Wood. The skipper lost yet another toss and we were put in to bat. We lost and early wicket but Bondy (33) and Hunter. L (43) put the team back in ascendancy. Soon more wickets fell and a good partnership between Mew and Worsley took the boys past 150 and then a quick cameo from Woodsy put us on 164 and the skipper decided he'd seen enough!!!
The teas were guzzled down much to the disappointment of the spectators in the bar.
Marc Woods and youngster Liam Bullock bowled superb opening spells with Woods taking 3 wickets. A superb run out with good fielding from Hunter.S and Joey suddenly had ODs looking odds on favourites but Petts Wood decided to bat out for a draw very early on. This frustrated the bowlers but Nick Worsley bowled very well against two brick walls. Nick managed to also take three wickets. Even with Hunter.L's mickey mouse bowling the batsman saw off the overs and snatch a draw.
I spose we should mention that Sam Carp made an appearance for the team and didn't bat but was put in as a specialist fielder and managed to drop a simple lopping catch.
Well played to everyone see you next week away at Catford Cyphers.
Thanks must also go to Mrs Hunter for fantastic teas!!!!!

Sunday friendly XI at HSBC
The first game of the season for the friendly side was away to HSBC. The usual few made them selves available and we were also joined by a few first team stars. Aaron White, our overseas player Yusef (joey) and Graham Ward.
When we arrived it looked as though the oppo had heard of our 1st team stars and decided to pack their team with strong and talented players including their New Zealand overseas player.
We lost the toss and were put in the field. A strong start from Brownie and Yusef seeing us take two early wickets one for both openers. Billy Rouse then almost made a significant break through when the new zealander cannoned the ball towards mid off.................Steve Smith!!!!! Of course we all know what happens when the ball goes toward him, however this time he put the catch down and dropped the player who went on to score 91 (just to rub it in he was only on 25). Aaron White took the opportunity to take a few 'cheap wickets' with some great bowling he took 4 wickets possibly could have had 5 if the skipper had not snatched at a chance in gully. Simon made up for his drop with a catch the very next over in the deep off Yusef's bowling.
The oppo finally finished 210 for 8.
After an unusually splendid tea. The deadly duo of Steve Smith and Ross Bond took opened the batting. Bondy struggled to score runs and after getting just 3 off 12 overs he made a wild swing and was bowled. Smith had more luck scoring a quick 30 odd. Yusef and Aaron White batted well together and put the team in a strong position needing just 100 from 10 overs. Unfortunately the team lost quick wickets Yogi going for 30 and Yusef scored a strong 55. We batted well and eventually finished 160 for 7. The boys must be congratulated as I can't think of a stronger oppo the team have faced in my 3yrs as captain. They certainly did not disgrace themselves and was a very impressive performance by the whole team.
Thank you to our supports woodsy and a couple of WAGs (scuse the slang!)
The boys are now raring to go for next week, if anyone else fancies a game this Sunday please email Simon Hunter (see fixture card for email address) Only requirement is to have some good banter!!!!!
Good luck this Saturday to everyone.
