Woodside Warriors Cricket Club

The mighty Woodside warriors set a new world record by playing the lastest in the calender year (27th August) but it proved a game too far.

After magnificantly winning the toss ,stand in captain Andrej Dziedzic was cajoled into putting the Christians into bat first , on the shortest day of the year !

St Marks batted with their normal eratic style with only Brian batting with his usual aplom until he was stumped after being spun round like a spinning top. The centrifugal force nearly brought panic to the universe ,similar to that Switzeland tin pot experiment thingy-me- bob !

Only Snowy hit boundaries in the last over to make a decentish total of 83ish.

Captain Kunz lasted a mere 3 balls and departed for his second duck in succesion much to the delight of the Woodies, esp Tom who cackled like a witch.

His only consolation was a record 6 ducks followed on the test standard pitch ( test being the right word !).

The Woodies started reasonably enough with Baines and Stevie D but then wickets tumbled faster than than Bernard down a grassy slope followed by a bench !

2 Hatricks were avoided but the biggest blow came when Captain Kunz made up for his lack of runs with 2 consecutive catches. One of which was Ste Stead who stormed off the pitch throwing his bat and gloves in a Wragg-esk  like manner.

It still left time for Richard to be not run out and Tom to hit his first boundary of the year.

St Marks won by about a dozen.
