Life is like a box of Thornton's chocolates
Pacific v Homerton CC at Wray Crescent
Sat 04 Oct 2014 at 12.00pm
Won 
Friendly fixture

After Pacific restricted Homerton to 148 in persistent rain, John Thornton led a perfectly-timed chase in the sunshine with a classy half century, hitting the winning runs in the penultimate over.

Well done to everyone for persisting through some rubbish weather, helping to set up a good game of cricket for when the weather cleared up. 

Until someone writes a proper report, this eurodance anthem from 1994 will have to do to capture the mood of the day.
