As seems usual at Stowell Park, some drizzle and overcast conditions awaited the Cryptics and Gipsies at the start of the match. Skipper Walker lost the loss and The Gipsies decided to get some runs on the board. Some good pace from opening bowler Chris Elsden unsettled the openers and with some good support from Chris Fox at the other end they had put the Gipsies 3 down with only 34 on the board. A good partnership then for the Gipsies developed with opener Thompson pouncing on anything short and making a very good 78. Schoolboy John Koutalides and Anton Madzaveric both bowled tidily with John picking up one deserved wicket. The game was well poised at 134-4 at lunch, and the Joel Price bowled some excellent off spin taking there key wicket of Thompson, and with schoolboy Billy Cropper bowling some good leg spin from the other end, they had the Gipsies at 144-6, and it was looking like it was a good toss to lose. However, the thorn in the Cryptics side, as has often been the case over the recent years, came in the form of the Gipsies Captain and keeper Pockett, who played the match-winning innings. He farmed the strike very well and made a brutally quick 73 out of a 102 partnership which really took the game away from us. Some lucky throws of the bat from the no. 7 brought the Gipsies a very strong total of 276.
The Cryptics lost Doole early - his exploits on the 3 peaks a few days before possibly playing a factor! Joel Price threatened but managed to get a leading edge, but Mike Stafford showed his experience with a very good 40, but with score board and time pressure mounting he holed out trying to accelerate the score and left the Cryptics at 100-3. Sadly there is nothing much one can say about the next 7-8 overs bar that we had a collapse of England proportions losing the next 6 wickets for not much more than 20 runs and the game was up. A spirited last wicket stand from Billy Cropper who defended stoutly, and Chris Fox who made a good 25, at least took the game into the final 10 overs but the inevitable happened and the Cryptics were all out for 163. A disappointing end to the season, but it was great to meet some new faces, and as always the lunch and tea were outstanding!
