Captain Rees reports "Another close one where we were about 20-30 runs short. Darren was really unlucky to be caught by the bowler. I'll bet his hands are still smarting! Otherwise, as VC Roy said - we all got out to bad shots.

Just didn’t get enough batting, but we bowled and fielded really really well. It went down to the last over and we were only defending 110! We only needed 2 wickets for the last 4 overs…. The Tower Ravens fan club was getting very nervous in the second half of their innings!

Mr Roy must have the most awesome bruise after using his chest to catch a rocket-speed ball at short cover. Mr Hess took a great caught & bowled, and generally bowled really tight stuff. And Lucius whipped up some firey (yet economical) bowling, especially after very very very very very close LBW appeal! "
