KP2 v Bromley Cricket Club 4 5/3/2014

Second team tried hard  - but no cigar

Bromley CC 4  (18 points)  Knole Park  1   (5 points)

Bromley CC 4  (18 points)  Knole Park  1   (5 points)

Sadly Knole's 2nd team could not produce the same rousing finish to the Winter season that the 1st team managed.   Typical of the night - and the season - was Chris Shepherd-Barron's effort in reaching a 1-all 7-3 lead with his opponent seemingly on the ropes.   However, Scott's ankle injury at that point intervened, and after the screams of agony had died down, Chris failed to win another point!

Peter Brightwell started well against young Ryan and took a hard fought first game in some style.  The error rate balance then shifted and Pete couldn't stay with the pace and accuracy of his opponent..

Gareth succumbed to a talented septuagenarian; and Jerry couldn't quite crank the knees into a fast gear as he was swept aside by relentless Steve.

At least Captain Jolly John was able to salvage a little pride with a steady win over opposing captain Paul.  But the champagne will have to remain on ice for another season.

Thanks to the many who fought for the team during a frustrating season.  Still, we can say that we provided solid support and occasional point-earning reserves for the 1st team to keep them in the hunt for Division 3 status.
