The day started badly, with unexpected steady rain; bad news for the local winegrowers (though 100km east, the farmers are literally praying for rain). Luckily, the weather dried in the afternoon and the team was ableto use the second team concrete strip.
Twyford donned the pads first, but a serious bout of post-flight jitters reduyced the score to 18-5. Then Oscar and Max put on an imperious century stand; Max making 49, with many mighty biffs, and Oscar topscoring with a chanceless 62 not out. 148 in the allotted 25 overs looked a fair score.
Then the Twyford attack came good, with all the bowlers accurate and economical. It was Gregor, who made the first vital inroads, taking two consecutive wickets in his superb second over. Thereafter wickets fell steadily, with most bowlers achieving success - Max 2, Rory 1, Simon 1, Christian 2 and Ben polishing off the tail with the last two. Bridge House School ended all out on just 52 in 20 overs.
Everyone played and contributed to the team win - well done Twyford.
