Tilford June 24th

Was a fine game yesterday and after last year’s batting onslaught from us Tilford brought a somewhat younger side… However we survived and managed to play out for the draw. Our card makes for somewhat unusual reading however as you will see below. Honourable mentions for Smith 5-68; Gardner 4-31 and even the skipper managed to chip in with 61 not out. Wonders will never cease… Tilford Innings Rooney LBW Gardner 67 Holday bowled Saunders 0 M Beard ct Bowled Smith 4 Hargreaves bowled Smith 0 Mills ct bowled Gardner 31 Stranger ct bowled Smith 0 Sheppard bowled Smith 0 Cook Not out 50 Beard ct and bowled Smith 15 Austin ct bowled Gardner 0 Matthews st bowled Gardner 0 TOTAL 192 ALL OUT Bowling Smith 5-68 Saunders 1-15 Haywood 0-38 T Stene 0-11 D Stene 0-18 Gardner 4-31 Refreshers Innings Hornby ct bowled M Beard 6 Cook ct bowled Austin 1 Burrett bowled Austin 0 D Stene Run out 6 Haywood Bowled Cook 36 T Stene ct bowled Mathews 0 Saunders Not Out 61 Gardner Bowled Cook 2 Atkins bowled M Beard 7 Rose Not Out 0 (but he definitely scored at least 1 – and batted with me for last 14 overs) Smith DID NOT BAT Extras 26 Total 145 for 8
