Thanks. Another 10 runs and getting Bowers out earlier could have made all the difference.

I should have played my full team

You would have still beaten us anyway.

Pitch Slow

I was made to bat first which I was okay with. I don't think I mind losing the toss on a slow pitch as I'm happy enough bowling or batting first.

S. Elwin (rfm) 3-0-13-0, R. Norris 9 (20b), I. Santos 8 (16b)
End of over 6 (4 runs) - Ruff Royals(18-0) RR 3.00

B. O'Callaghan (rm) 6-0-29-1, W. Mills 1 (2b), S. Whitehead 32 (48b)
End of over 20 (6 runs) - Ruff Royals(72-3) RR 3.60

We're struggling here with all but one of my good batsmen out. Only Whitehead is in to give us half a chance and our run rate isn't great.

D. Ylyett (rm) 5-1-9-2, T. Barry 1 (1b), C. Hone 49 (70b)
End of over 26 (2 runs) - Snakey's Kent Stars(89-4) RR 3.42

Happy enough so far, RR is lowish and just a couple more wickets will put us on top.

L. Shurmer (rf) 5-0-40-0, T. Barry 26 (22b), I. Corcoran 24 (20b)
End of over 34 (12 runs) - Snakey's Kent Stars(143-6) RR 4.21

40 runs from the last 4 overs, opponents batsmen are now just twatting my bowlers.
Could be chasing 200 if this continues!

K. Mac Obuya (rfs) 8-0-34-2, M. Roberson 1 (2b), W. Mills 63 (69b)
End of over 40 (4 runs) - Ruff Royals(182-7) RR 4.55

Whitehead was out for 66. Mills finished 63 not out. It's a decent total but I think we may be 20 runs or so short.

Well they really twatted our bowlers at the end!

End of over 11 (5 runs) - Leyland Lions(53-0). 130 runs required from 29 overs. RR 4.82 RRR 4.48

No wickets and the run rate is way too high so we've got no chance here. It doesn't help that my back-up keeper has dropped the only chance we've had.

End of over 29 (3 runs) - wolfberries(135-5). 68 runs required from 11 overs. RR 4.66 RRR 6.18

Well anything can happen but I would be disappointed if we lost from here.

With 3 overs left they only needed 4 runs an over with 5 wickets remaining but they only managed 10 runs. 4-35 from Massey was crucial as was the 63 not out from 17-year-old Mills. Mills has certainly justified his inclusion over a better skilled but worse performing Evans. 12 points clear of 7th place so survival almost secure.

Very nice, I would be extremely happy with that win.

I am delighted; it didn't seem like it was going my way for most of the match.
