After the previous week's low scoring affair, battling against the bouncy
pitch three 3 and extravangant ball, this week's Chats Palace produced a
high scoring tie on the benign pitch 3, with a more sedately behaving ball.
Tufnell Parkians batted really well, albeit against a ragged fielding
display by Chats Palace. Austin Downing made a difference when brought into
the attack, taking 3 for 11 from two overs, whilst Chats' fielding and
spirit improved correspondingly, with Lawrence Hutchinson taking a couple of
fine catches.
Still, 161 was an above par target for Chats Palace's expectations. However,
Chats Palace responded with a discipline and flair that, after scoring only
30 from the first five overs, saw them increase the tempo to keep them in
the hunt.
Lawrence Hutchinson's 47 led the way, with an increased tempo leaving Chats
with a chance. Ned Woodman kept his nerve and verve to steer Chats Palace to
an exciting last ball tie!
