Report by Daniel Mortlock:

Fielding first, we entered into a war of attrition with Longborough & Sezincote's top order. FAS first-timer D. Teacher perhaps regretted agreeing to take the new ball in what turned out to be a marathon spell of 15 overs, 5 maidens, 3/47; ?. Williams (2/24) got off comparatively lightly, being spelled after 10 overs before being brought back for an 11th towards the end of l&S's innings, which was declared closed on a seemingly generous 147/7.

This, however, was quickl revealed to be a seriously challenging target as FAS fell to 22/3. Coming in at number 5, R. Bishop at least stopped the collapse before being dismissed for 15, after which surviving opener Richard Jones took over. At this stage he was on about 30*; but, perhaps accurately judging our lower order to be vulnerable (nobody else made more than 5), he went on the attack, eventually finishing up scoring a superb 75. This was 68.18% of our eventual total of 110 all out, the highest relative contribution to an innings in FAS history.
