The cursed Blackwall tunnel almost put paid to Cally's premier league
aspirations. Fortunately two boundary-traddling 'Stella Swigging Hobos' (in
the best possible taste) rescued the day for a below par Cally's Team.
Taking the field with 6 players, the skipper found Dave Weekes and 'Fuz'
Lawrence enjoying a drink on a warm evening. They kindly accepted the
invitation to represent the Cally's for the evenings proceedings. The former
cricketers left on the scrap heap of life were re-juvenated! and what a find
they turned out to be.
London Fields batted first and started at over 10-an-over plundering 61 off
the first 5 overs. Fortunately Dave Weekes and M Siddiqui came on to put the
brakes on to the London Fields innings. London Fields posted a challenging
147 off thier allotted 16 overs.
Mohammed Fazal and Bazlul Haque started the Cally's innings at over 12 runs
an over posting 72 inside the first 6 overs. Two quick wickets put the Cally's
on the back foot. Cally's were kept in the chase by Amir Khan who hit a
match winning 37 before being cleanly bowled by Paul the London Fields 'all
rounder'.
Last over Rick Daives Joined M Siddiqui with 7 to get. Siddiqui got a
boundary early in the over putting the pressure back on London Fields. One
wide ball and a single stolen meant scores were tied with two deliveries to
face.
Rick Davies drove Chris straight past a wide mid-off to snatch victory
from the jaws of defeat for the Cally's. Great game played in good spirit.
