Darcy Lever Cricket Club

Hi bloggers! Well, it's the third day of the tour and we're having a wonderfully eventful time so far!!!
After a very boozy journey on Monday, we arrived in Lincolnshire to prepare for our first match. On Monday night the first select XI from our squad faced Owmby Cricket Club in a Twenty20 match.

Darcy Lever won the toss and captain Paul Smethurst chose to bat. Despite a rather slow innings, the visitors managed to put 103 up on the board, losing six wickets. Jimmy Hill, man of the match, hit the highest score of 36 not out, closely followed by Adam Rowan who managed 30.

Reduced light made the second innings rather tough but saw Darcy Lever take eight wickets and Owmby level their score of 103. Matt Rudderfird was Owmby's highest scorer with 26, while for Darcy Lever, Grant Cordin took three wickets for 19 runs off four overs. The match resulted in a tie.
