South Loughton CC 2nd XI v Galleywood CC 3rd XI - 15th May 2021 Match Report

16 May 2021

Galleywood won the toss and batted first despite the damp conditions following overnight and morning rain on a pitch which played well enough despite the difficult conditions.  We struggled against the excellent South Loughton bowling attack and with another top order collapse were bowled out for 65 in the 33rd over of a 35 over game. Craig Singleton top scored with 29 as he led a recovery of sorts. Saad 4/3, Fousel 2/22, H Smith 1/18 and D Smith 1/11 were the wicket takers for South Loughton. 

 

The team stuck at it in the field and despite only having a small target, South Loughton were made to work for it with several near misses including George Thurnell hitting the stumps without dislodging the bail! All the bowlers (Dan Whysall, Ekansh, Harry and George Thurnell) bowled well. 

 

Whilst a disappointing day, it is clear that Division 9 appears stronger than in previous years. We need to dust ourselves down and start building some batting partnerships to help the middle order players score the runs needed to make meaningful scores. 


Onwards and upwards (hopefully)
