Fathers take on the Dilberts and cock it up

The manifesto went exactly according to plan - except the coin toss and then pretty much everything after that.

We bowled and restricted them to 111. Harmie was on song. The Fathers were on fire.
Then we batted and all was in hand after Kyles and Nads put up a 50+ run partnership. The Fatherses minds turned to the car park.

Enter the sheer flamboyance of Norris and Itchy who barely (yet entertainingly!) scratched out a skin tying effort of -9!

Gilly gave Choc the death stare after getting run out off the jackpot ball in the third partnership. Choco was turned to stone. They staged a mini recovery but then lost 5 quick wickets for a -1 run partnership.

Harmie and Gristle needed 70 odd to win and it came down to the last ball. A seven was required and Harmie managed to get it past four fielders on the back net for a side back four - they scrambled an overthrow and Harmie was run out only metres out of his ground going for the tie on the second overthrow.

In the car park the Fathers regained the momentum and ran away clear winners. Harmie was Man of the Car Park with Stella's and Crownies and there was much rejoicing. A 12am effort.

Noice work Fathers!

Special mention to Hugos who earned himself a Fine Credit for taking out the cheerleader of the match (award).
