THE PRESIDENT'S XI
CRICKET CLUB

v. RINGERS
15 AUGUST 1987

LOST BY TWO WICKETS

A simple tale - the Presidents pinned down by some tight bowling - 29-2 after 10 overs - a tumbling of wickets - 44-5 after fifteen - and despite a brave and grim rearguard action by Phil Crossley and Jerry Williams it was 83-6 after twenty-five overs. Just ten runs from the next five overs - and then a late flurry. Jerry unbeaten on 41 - but a smallish total to defend.

Ian Sime soon went - but despite some tight bowling Atkinson and Buck took the score past fifty. Laurence Worms came on to remove both of them - Jerry Williams bowled a fine spell of 3-16 to take out the middle order - but the 100 came up with just six wickets down. Gold hung on to see the Ringers home with fourteen balls to spare. A good, hard-fought and tight game.
