The 2nd XI were involved in two games against Congresbury and D.E.F.R.A. tonight and won them both to climb to fourth place in the league. The first match saw Congresbury bat first and score a competitive 74 all out with Tippo returning the best figures of 2-11 and Robbo (1-22) also picking up a wicket. We reached the victory target in the ninth over for the loss of just two wickets thanks to great knocks of 26 not out by both Robbo and Boardy. We batted first in the second match against D.E.F.R.A. and scored an impressive 95 all out with Robbo (14) and Boardy (13) both batting well again. A battling knock of 32 by D.E.F.R.A. opener Phil Gilder almost saw them reach the victory target of 96 but Witho took a great catch off Tippo in the last over to seal a thrilling three run victory. Tippo (2-22) once again returned the best figures and Witho (1-21) also picked up a wicket. A A
