T Known Beforehand but Monday's Final Junior Match Was, in Fact, the 18S Chance to Share the League Title
18s close out season '08 with a win,.....and a title! it wasn't known beforehand but monday's final junior match was, in fact, the 18s chance to share the league title. motherwell rocked up and, playing their first game in weeks due to horrible weather, won the toss and chose to bowl. the 'loc - aware of the conditions - wanted to get off to a fast start. and so dani' and scotty were despatched to the middle. in a game ultimately reduced to fifteen overs-a-side the 'locsters would post 106 for the loss of just four wickets. no-one really starred, but all the batters chipped in. scotty went first playing a shocker of a shot that skied above the 'keeper's head. easy catch? it was for the 'keeper,.....but wasn't for bowler peter keay who eventually took it after running 22 yards to grab it! strange. dani' then followed after putting on 42 with big bruv' bil'y . he, too, played a terrible shot and was dismissed courtesy of a good catch by sub' fielder aamir kayani! tee, hee. bil'y and nj then added a few, both getting 20s, but both getting dismissed. this left shorty three balls to face: 4, 2, 1 leaving him 7* when "time" was called. the motherwell reply never really got going. that is, after skipper keay was dismissed after a quick-fire 9. this'd be the top score as his younger teammates found batting difficult, on a tricky deck, in fading light. hardly the ideal combination! in the end motherwell mustered just 23 and the win was the 'loc 's.
