The first match of the season got off to a very good start for the Marress team. The team fielded and bowled to a very good standard. Once the cob webs were blown away(especially from Derek Parks shirt) the team settled down and went about the business in a very determined way.
Particular mention must go to Josh Conway and Craig Sharpe who did very well with the bowling. A couple of good catches from Craig Sharpe and David Ingram and we soon had the wickets tumbling.
The opening innings of whiteinch ended with them scoring 154 all out.
A score that had the Marress men feeling confident during the tea break(a special thanks to Susan Neil for all the help with the tea and great sandwiches).
After tea the batting order was announced and the Openers (Craig & Josh) entered the arena. Unfortunately the confidence off the field did not develop on the field and it was not long before we were 19 for 4. Mike Ingram then entered at No. 5 and tried to develop the innings but sadly the remaining batsmen offered a limited resistence and after a few small stands the Marress team were eventually bowled out for 102.
We must try to learn from our mistakes and try and get to training and practise hard on our game.
Our next match is at home to Ardencaple on Saturday, hopefully we will be able to build on a fairly promising start and secure our first win.
Good Luck to everybody
Mike
