3 wickets at the end for Vaughn just got us the win in a close game. I didn't think we'd win that when they only needed about 35 runs with 5 wickets remaining.

80 runs for Mills lead the batting to a just about acceptable total. Chudasama's bowling was expensive but the rest of the bowlers put in a good performance.

Opponents misfields cost them 4 runs while we suffered 19

Opponents missed 1 from 5 chances while we missed 4 from 10, 1 was while they were 9 down! I need to train fielding more

Another tough game today I'm sure.

Slow pitch too.

A. Ten Dam (rfm) 2-0-11-1, D. Ross 36 (40b), K. Frank 0 (0b)
End of over 18 (3 runs) - Lord Rockingham's XI(85-2) RR 4.72

It's being going very badly. Ten Dam recently picked up a wicket and we need that to trigger a collapse.

L. Waterhouse (rfs) 3-1-6-3, O. Harford 13 (20b), T. Gardiner 0 (2b)
End of over 25 (maiden) - wolfberries(99-6) RR 3.96

Triggers and a very mediocre spinner are really hurting us today.

Always was going to be a super tough game today against hugely experienced Inchigeela. First mistake was losing the toss at least if we'd won that we could have had a bat and saved a bit or NRR

anyway ... opps 175-0 at drinks ... let's hope we can at least keep it below 400

A. Ten Dam (rfm) 10-0-36-4, D. Ross 63 (76b), R. Mandyam 25 (44b)
End of over 37 (3 runs) - Lord Rockingham's XI(158-5) RR 4.27

Ten Dam has finished his overs which is a shame as he was the only one doing a good job for us. Need the final 5 wickets to fall very quickly as I'm not sure I fancy chasing any more than 190.

P. Callaway (rfs) 10-0-52-2, N. Abdulah 13 (21b)
End of over 50 (5 runs) - Lord Rockingham's XI(218-10) RR 4.36

We're going to need to bat well to chase this successfully. We got them to 197-9 with Moses on a hattrick which my keeper managed to drop.

K. Frank (rws) 3-0-26-0, J. Bass 34 (66b), T. Liberatore 51 (66b)
End of over 25 (9 runs) - Ruff Royals(107-2). 112 runs required from 25 overs. RR 4.28 RRR 4.48

This is a real struggle. Whereas they seemed to score with ease, we are going slowly although we occasionally pick the rate up a little. A good 50 for Liberatore but we need more. Only 1 BH trigger for Bass despite numerous dot balls.

J. Quintana (rfm) 7.2-0-33-2, S. Payne 12 (24b)
End of over 46 (1 run) - wolfberries(186-10) RR 4.04

Managed to scrape together a half decent total,can we defend it though?

Should be a tough game next week against the number one team.
