G-NAT TOP SCORES FOR THE FATHERS!

On a night that will be remembered mostly for Carpark Festivities, G-NAT took Man of the Match Honours Top Scoring for the Fathers and marking a new era of up and coming young talent from deep within the FFCC Grassroots.

The night will also be remembered for the valiant effort of seven warriors that battled late into the night covering the gap left by Hugo (late withdrawl) and Gristle who failed to heed the cry for help.

The Fathers posted 121 and held Festers Jesters to only 34 after the first two partnerships with brilliant bowling and fielding and covered the abyss left by Hugo and Gristle. But in the end, the gap proved costly and the Jesters snuck home. Did the Fathers drop their shoulders? No way. Was it over when the Russians bombed Pearl Harbour? Absolutely not. The body language reigned supreme.

The G-NAT top scored with 23 in a 37 run partnership with Madman (14) after The Mayor (20 not out) and Itchy (4) opened the Fatherses account. Norris (22) and Gilly (16) set the bar with a workmanlike, near chanceless effort. Norris was picked to bat for Hugo (0) and/or Gristle (0) and added another 19 runs in a partnership of 22 with Nads (heaps). 121 flashed on the scoreboard and the mexican wave flashed around the ground.

In the field Itchy set about establishing the centre of excellence at point and busied the scorers all evening and the chants of "Caught Itchy, Bowled Norris" reverberated through nearby weston creek suburbs. Captain Nads (aka "Nans" or "Nana" for short) secured the centre of senility in the back corner waking from his short kip after a noice cuppa to take a hat trick thus earning a much sought after Fine Credit for the upcoming Encampment Season.

Itchy failed to take the hat trick (FINE!) and earned a Grey Feather FINE! also. Madman and Gilly missed the coin toss (FINE! each) as did Hugo and Gristle (MORE FINES!) Norris chipped in with a White Feather FINE! and Itchy took out the SITTER (FINE!) trying to pin a catch to the net with his back.

Gilly displayed extreme agility and guile behind the wicket and was best in the field. The Captain's dressing down went to Itchy (FINE!)

Itchy returned to the indoor form of the game groin intact picking up where he left off taking 4 for 0. Nana wasn't far behind with 4 for 5 and the remaining wickets were shared between Cheezy (2) Madman (2) Norris (2) Gilly (1) and G-Nat (1).
