FFCC wins coz we can

Norris Diary entry 7 June 2011:

9pm arrive at car park for beers a 9:30pm start. No beer boy (Itchy) FINE!
Was keen to forget the cricket and hang out in the car park - beautiful evening, bit of rain about, -143 degrees celsius. Cars roll in first Snork then China, SAO.
9:15pm - still no Itchy - Double FINE!
9:16pm - Itchy and Nads arrive. Many tears of happiness that beer boy finally got there. Nads was well dressed complete with Friar Tuck and track pants tucked into socks with winter galoshes. The boys passed a hat around to raise funds for a new pair of pants but all funds raised (none) were redirected to new pair of childrens Xsml shorts for Newman.
9:20pm - Harmie, Gilly and the Prez roll in. No Billy.
9:30pm - head into stadium for match.
9:40pm - coin toss - Fathers lose toss and get sent in to bat. Still no Billy - FINE!

Partnership 1 - Harmy and Prez - 22 runs after two overs but a couple of late runouts and they finished on 31. Harmie 23, Prez 8.
Partnership 2 - Billy and SAO - scratched out 21 runs in gutsy effort. SAO 12, Billy 9
Partnership 3 - Nads and Gilly - steadied the ship with and effortless 44. Nads 19; Gilly 25
Partnership 4 - China and Itchy - pure entertainment - sparkling 44. China TOP SCORE 29 and Itchy 15.

FFCC 140 runs on the board. Defendable.

The worm tells the story - Cuz We Can't was off to a flier and looked to have it in the bag. Nadses shoulders dropped. The Fathers missed chance after chance. But the wheels fell off the run chase when CAPTAIN Gilly took the ball in hand in the 7th over. SAO did the damage in the 9th and China and The Prez finished the job in the 12th and 13th overs.Over 1 - Itchy 0 for 15
Over 2 - SAO 1 for 6
Over 3 - Billy 1 for 12
Over 4 - Prez 0 for 11
Over 5 - Harmy 0 for 21
Over 6 - Nads 0 for 12
Over 7 - Gilly 2 for -9
Over 8 - China 1 for 6
Over 9 - SAO 4 for -16
Over 10 - Billy 1 for 9

Over 13 - Prez 4 for -23
Over 14 - Itchy 0 for 20
