Not sure I can but let me attempt to find one word that adequately describes the U15's performance today Umm.........Demolition. Crushing. Outstanding. Ruthless.......probably all in fairness!

Well where to start ? OK the beginning then! As 'captain fantastic' (Wobbly) and vice skip Sam 'watch out for that bench' Morris both arrived at Greenlane without much in the way of suitably white whites!the job of tossing up was left to impeccably turned out (as usual) Nathan 'Nay Nay' Procter who started the day well and won the toss and, in accordance with hispoorly turned out captains instructions, elected to bat first. The track looked very green and wasn't going to easy to bat on but out strode young Mr Hewitt with his partner, a rather scruffy Mr Morris to face the full force of Greenlanes bowling attack. Mr 'Scruffy' went to work immediately not bothering to have a look and dispatched his first ball for a crushing four through the covers. That moreorless set the tone and off we went, pouncing on anything short, wide, over pitched, crunching fours, quick singles, two's three's and even an all run four I think. Left handed opener Pete Hewitt also soon found his feet and played some great shots before unfortuantely being cut off in his prime by a suspect LBW decision. In strode Captain 'F' (the 'F' is for fantastic nothing else!!!) meaning we now had a right couple of scruffs in the middle! Mr Morris didn't let up and went about his business crunching that poor cricket ball to all corners. After finding his feet (after about 2 balls!) Captain 'F' treated the 100's of spectators to some totally sublime stroke play with the ball crossing the boundary rope on a regular basis. Both players reached magnificent 50's Capt. 'F' with a straight '6' - little poser! Unfortunately Mr Locke and Mr Snook didn't have the best of luck with the bat this week but their time will come! Matt Stephens and 'Rhino' Grange both contributed valuable runs toward the end and BRCC finished with a colossal 160. 

Was this going to be enough ?

The weather was, as is typical for this time of year, not great for cricket unless you like low cloud, grey skies & persistent rain! The home side, that us! all arrived on time (for a change) and in good spirits following back to back wins and wasted no time in donning whites and getting out on the astro with balls in hand! (Cricket balls!!).

'Na Na' Nathan Procter, smile on face as usual, was out there holding court and describing, in great detail, his heroics of the previous day playing for the 2nd team. For those of you who haven't heard.........he bowled well, fielded well and, most amazing of all, scored 19 not out................with a bat!!! So, those of you who thought young Mr Procter couldn't bat, think again! 'Na Na' is after the 'all-rounder of the year award' watch out 'Wobbly' Miller!

Things became a whole lot more interesting when the skipper tossed up with the opposition captain, lost again, but was put into bat first.......in fact, that was as exciting as it got. Following a very long, wet, hour of waiting, pacing, frequent trips out to the wicket with Mr Taylor and regular chats with the North Leeds coach, it was decided eventually decided that enough was enough.

Tough call but, thats cricket!

Thanks to all the guys for there prompt arrival and mature attitude to the cancelation.

See you all Thursday

Coach Grossy
