Rock Raptors vs Shilbottle Pitmen

Rock put away their whites for a few weeks, and their run of bad results behind them as we all turned up with enthusiasm and some flash new coloured kit. A strong, cold northern wind howled across the field and we took first go with the never before seen pink ball.

Tight bowling restricted the Pitmen to 98/9, only the Fairgrieve’s and Barry Inglis making it into double figures.

In reply Rod & Kev got us off to a solid start, Kev being the more aggressive with the fielding restrictions in place.

Kev and Shorty holed out in the chase, but Mick W. and Rod saw us home. Rod stylishly ending the game with a six. But you can see all that for yourself in the video below, filmed and edited by our own Steven Gray!

Scorecard

Our shirt sponsors braved the cold and the wind to hopefully enjoy our performance, and celebrated an opening win with a warming cup of coffee whilst the rest of us tucked into the barbeque (and drink!).
