Hi Tim,
Thank you and your groundsmen for all your hard work and permitting
us to play today. The boys enjoyed the match and the venue. I
have forwarded the match report for the website.

On a overcast day with a bit of rain in the air the game went
ahead thanks to the work of Wilson's CC groundsman whose efforts
had to be recognized.
In a match reduced to
22 overs City won the toss and elected to bowl first. Rushcliffe
made 91 for 4 with captain Ben Shaw making 25 not out and vice
captain Joseph Baker making 16 - both were supported well by Hayden
Dudley 13 and Lucien Holiday 10. For the City Luke Fowler took
2 for 13.
City started their run
chase brightly but it was Rushcliffe's fielding that changed the
match when City batsman M .Young was brilliantly caught by Lucien
Holiday - a great one handed catch which looked like it was going
over him but some how he managed to hold onto to dismiss Young
for 10. City continued to battle hard with Hamish Llewellyn making
19 and they wanted 35 of the last 6 overs but in the 19th over
Stan Carter took 2 wickets including Llewellyn which finished
City hopes and they finished on 69 for 8 in their 22 overs - Rushcliffe
winning by 22 runs.
A good game despite the
weather and our thanks to Tim and Wilsons CC for being excellent
hosts.
