THE PRESIDENT'S XI
CRICKET CLUB

v. THE RINGERS
30 AUGUST 1997

WON BY FOUR WICKETS

The return match against the Ringers - an away game played on Hampstead Heath with both sides a player or two short. The Ringers batted first and despite a fifty from Lloyd and an undefeated 31 from Atkinson, the Presidents kept it very tight, With the opening bowlers Will Lake and Steve Blair conceding only twenty-six runs between them in their full allocation of fourteen overs. Laurence Worms finally captured Lloyd leg-before and finished off the innings with a caught-and-bowled. The Ringers 116 all out.

A cautious start in reply from the Presidents - only five runs off the first five overs - three of them maidens. But eleven off the next and Keith Willison and Dave Sawtell were on their way to an opening partnership of fifty-four. Keith fell to a run-out - and then we had an attack of the jitters, with the next four batsmen only mustering thirteen between them. But Dave Sawtell was still there and punching his way to an undefeated seventy-two (ten boundaries) to see us safely home with overs to spare. Well played that man.
