result of final pre-season match

‍ ‍

The club’s Friendly XI took on Stoke Gabriel’s Friendly XI at the Rec (thank you to  TARFC for agreeing to this) in a much re-arranged T20 match.

Stoke Gabriel won the toss and asked TKCC to have a bat.  After the lose of two early wickets it was left to debutant Ben Pomare to score a quick fire 50 before retiring to allow others time in the middle, Harry Pasenger scoring 39 in his usual manner and Tobias Delahunty who retired on 32, to help TKCC post 182 for 5 in 20 overs (luckily the spare 1st XI balls were at home with Evo).  The best of the SG bowlers was Kyle Lardner with 2 for 37. ‍

In reply SG got off to  a good start with Tyler Hunter scoring 36 and Justin Pringle scoring 22.  However, the only other batter to contribute was Michael Meech who fell one short of a fifty.  As for the TKCC bowlers the wickets were shared around but Harry Passenger certainly spun his web with 0 for 2.  SG were 44 runs short when the match was curtailed with them 9 wickets down.

Evo might have been on a night off from the scorebox but was busy on other cricketing matters.  First up was a catch-up call for Club Reps involved in the work of Opening Up Cricket.  Off the back of the call, Evo would like as many club members to give up just a little of their time to do the Zero Suicide Alliance e-learning.  The link for which is:

Following on from this Evo listened to an online conversation with Jason Ratcliffe hosted by The Cricket Society and Evo managed to get the club mentioned in the Q&A part of the evening.

Talking of Evo – whilst the committee are already aware, a general request to all members.  Please respect Evo’s privacy next Wed / Thu / Fri – under no circumstances should he be contacted for any club matters.
