NADS Best and Unneededest in BIG WIN for FFCC

The Fathers regained finals form with a comprehensive four skin win and extended car park session at the WICC.

Recent debutants Captain Sir Lord SAO and Mr Prez looked sharp in their new baggy tie dyes and SAO chose runs on the board after winning the toss. And there were runs aplenty. With Gladdy returning to the FFCC limelight the Fathers were buoyed with confidence and competitive spirit.

First in to bat were Nads (48 not out) and Mr Prez (32 not out) put up a modest partnership total of 80 just to set a wee bit of a foundation.

Norris (9) and Mayor McCheese (7) went down swinging losing two early wickets and two late wickets and were on a partnership hat trick (FINE) at the end of their innings. Norris opted to bat boxless after being offered Mr Prez’s lovely little laced black negligee box complete with 14 year oldunwashed crusty pool of pond scum.

Itchy (26 not out) chopped wood like a lumberjack and The Lord (21) took the game beyond reach with the total at 143 with the old guard still to bat.

Gilly (29 not out) and Gladdy (17) were practically chanceless and pressed hard barely falling short of the innings double ton.

Highlights of the Fathers in the Field:
The Cheesemeister (0 for 21) preying on the gurus like a leopard in full
flight;
Gladdy (1 for 31) taking one for the team (check out the bruise – photo
posted on the website);
Norris (3 for 28) catching one with his arm pit;
Itchy (2 for 8) cowering in the covers;
Captain SAO (2 for 22) brilliant bowling changes and clever field placements;
Mr Prez (3 for 5) saving the second skin with 3 for -5;
Gilly (3 for 26) best wicket keeper the Fathers had all night; and
Nads (6 for -14) with catches and run outs – the man is a STAR!

Gilly’s catering skills were the best of the night but The Mayor found no BBQ crinkles. It was unanimously agreed in the car park that since the Fathers won by 65 runs, Nadses positive contribution of 62 was not required thus earning three points in the race for FFCC Best and
Unneededest this season. (And pick up about 8 FINES! in the process.)
