After being defeated by Acton on Saturday the T's were out to regain some respect from our Saturday opponents in the form of our Sunday league encounter. However it turned out to be another forgettable Sunday league match for the T's.

Sadly I lost the toss and Acton elected to bat. The T's took to the field and seemed to be chasing far too much leather with Acton 80 without loss after 7 overs. The early introduction of the T's spin attack in the form of “Murali” Fattah and “Casanova” McCabe saw the T's rope back Acton with one delivery bowled by “Murali” Fattah clean bowling the Acton skipper round his legs. Some missed opportunities behind the stumps from “Clanga” Meredith proved to be costly. The senior Acton opener remained at the crease until a bowling changed brought “Ramsey” Mvil to the plate and some Gerrandesk footwork brought the Acton opener's innings to an end on 91 (run out). Acton continued to set a respectable 250/8 off the alotted 45 overs.

The chase started in diasterous fashion with “Clanga” Meredith edging one to the keeper off the 3^rd over. Saturday first XI opening bowler for Acton “Handgrenades” Reeve again troubled the T's batters and snared another 3 wickets taking his combined figures against the T's for the weekend to (85-9).

Some nice cameo's played by “Whippet” Brady (32), “300 club” Tomar (30) & “Murali” Fattah (32) gave some respectability to our total with the T's all out for 146.

With the opposition boasting 7 of its Saturday First XI it was always going to be an uphill battle but again I urge all 1's and 2's to considering playing the remaining Sunday fixtures in an effort to give the competition a shake.
