Portsmouth won by 67 runs
Bowling: John Biggs 2/23

As the scores suggest, this was a terrible performance by the A Team. Not helped by last minute injuries - Lee played despite being hardly able to walk; having a dead-leg from playing football in the morning and Steve O’Neill couldn’t play having picked up a back strain on the Sunday morning! Thanks to John Biggs for filling in at late notice. Biggsy was the only Portchester player who came out of the match with any credit, picking up 2 for 23 from his 3 overs….. A return to the A Team beckons?!

I am still waiting on scorer Staints to write his report on the match as intended. For the first time ever he is speechless and doesn’t know what to write! As soon as he finds the words I’ll put the report on here, although the match can be summarised in just the two - Barry Crocker!!
