Second Game - second win !

Was there ever a more exciting game of cricket! It was the final over, Twyford fielders on their toes, the last Somerset West pair at the wicket, three to win. The ball was hit to mid off, the batsmen set off. Wilf swooped like a cheetah on the veldt, a throw like an assegai - a direct hit and Twyford are in euphoria.

Somerset were all out for 132, after more accurate and effective bowling from all the bowlers. It was Jimmy, who broke through early with two wickets in two balls. He took a third later, and the other wicket takers were Rory 2, Max 2, Wilf 1 and Oscar 1.

Earlier, after yet another rain affected morning, the batters had been steady but only Felix made a serious contribution with a well judged 26. Then Oscar came in at no 7 with ten overs (out of 30) remaining. He stepped up to the mark with a great sense of occasion, scoring 61 not out off 35 balls. This gave us a total of 134 for 8 wickets, which was just, just enough in the end. Breathless - two wins in two games hurrah!
