Cup Semi BODICOTE 103-7 lost to SHIFA 128-8 by 25 runs

Zulfi (34) and Parvaiz (41) returned to haunt us although Wasim took 5 wickets (for 36). Shaun 25 no and Stanno 18 got runs but not enough to reach the final.

League BODICOTE dnb drew with MIDDLETON 144-6 – no result

Wasim bowled some nice off-spin. Lyno dropped Stephen King who then smashed Lyno’s bowling all over the shop. Before Barlow had him nonchalantly caught by Shaun at deep mid wicket. Their opener scored a lot. The Middleton No 8 Heywood D was sadly only in for four balls at the end. It poured down at the beginning of our innings

BODICOTE 133-7 lost to BRACKLEY 136-3 by 7 wickets

We scored 133 Andy top scoring with 54, Craig 19 and Darren 16, achieving 133 for 7. Paul Rogers achieved 3 for 32 . They got 136 in the last over.
Can`t say much more as I was in Bournemouth if anyone who was there would like to chip in.

BODICOTE 74 all out lost to BYFIELD 75-3 by 7 wickets

Adam and Extras top scored ( I`m selecting this extras man again)with 14.Dan and Craig reached  13 and 12 respectively. Woefully short with a total of 74 all out of 13.2 overs. Scott got an early wicket and Andy snaffled a caught and bowled but to no avail. They got to our target off 17.2 overs.(they seemed to have an Extras who also scored 14 too)

BODICOTE 89 all out lost to BANBURY XX 137-4 by 48 runs

This was a case of  1 man hitting all their runs 89 with their 5 other batsmen who were required not managing to reach double figures. Total 137. Scott had the best  figures of 2 for 32 and Adam and Paul returning the same stats of 1 for 21.
Our top scorers were Adam and George with 17 each. Sadly we were all out in the 18th for 89.

BODICOTE 152-2 beat BANBURY 138-9 by 14 runs

We batted first and scored a very  strong 152 which I am sure stunned and shocked Banbury , ha. Craig led the charge with 79 and saw us through to the end of the innings not out ,Shaun chipped in with 8. Then came Adam to keep Craig company and scored 25 next came Paul hitting a six in his 25 not out. Total 152 for 2.
E.Phillips scored 65 eventually being bowled by Paul in the last over. Bob bowled Adams and Hill. Santosh came on for his midweek debut taking a wicket in every one of his 3 overs.Banbury needed 21 off the last over but fell short by 15.

BODICOTE 96-8 lost to UPTON HOUSE 97-3 by 7 wickets

We batted first and scored a massive 96 on a lovely flat pitch .Adam  top scored with 27 closely followed by Craig  with 19.George scored 16 even with a peg leg. H Smith smashed 66 in 13 overs with only Bob`s 2 wickets and Adam`s 1 showing any hope of a fight. We lost.
