The resumption of this annual challenge come end of midweek fest, saw Pacific prize back the honour from their banking hosts. The use of the pink ball had mixed reactions - good in proncipal but a poor quality ball remains as such no matter what the colour. Nevertheless the sides stuck with it.

No batsman retired so truly a collective batting total defended with aplomb in the main by Pete Alexander, Rob Allum & Darren Tempany with a little help from 2 young Highgate Colts, Paul & Assan, with their leg spin.

Aftyerward, votes were taken & & cast & the League Player of the Season was named as Darrent Tempany winning by a slim 2 votes from David Monahan.

From Oppo "Thai curries + stir-fries are available aferwards @ £4 each. If a lot of you guys will want food I might give the caterer a heads up so he has enough stock in! See u monday, we will try to be there to start @ 17:45 ! shall we do 16 overs each way?"

Confirmed players for 17th vs JP Morgan

Shayne Rees , Justin Roy , Darren Tempany , Justin Hess , Jon Webley , Rob Bastin , Rob Allum , Dave Morahan , James McDonnell , Richard Walker & Peter Hollman .

Full side, but there’s always a chance (normally a strong one!) that someone will become unavailable. So please still let me know, if you are available.
