Signs of strain were beginning to show as the continued illness of the skipper led to only 8 players being there at the start when Shardlows put us in to bat. The return of Alf Hobson for this game meant we had 9. A 58 from Nige help lay the foundations to a total of 129 with extras contributing 26 and Laing finally managing to put a bat on the ball. A difficult task albeit against a weakened Shardlows saw Bayfield bowl out the league leaders for 82 with Laing also finally managing to contribute with the ball !! Some good catching and fielding with a match turning run out from Brain Knowles saw an unlikely pre-match result turn into one of our best performances for a while. If we could only put out a strong side each week I am sure we would be much higher up the table.
