The 3rd teams frustrating season continued at Moorlands. Again, a very youthful team performed admirably to contain Moorlands to 120-9. The Moorlands line up contained 4 of the prior days' first team, so the young guys can be proud of their efforts. Making his debut and opening the bowling was 14 year old Sam Bullers and he can be happy, taking a first teamers wicket in his 1-21. Captain Andy Kirkwood shared the opening bowling and took a wicket in both of his first 2 overs on the way to 3-18. Another 14 year old, George Robson, then entered with his controlled spin bowling and ended with the excellent figures of 2-8 of his 8 overs. There were also wickets for Mati Bramley and then First team opening bowler, stepping in at the last minute to help the team out, taking 2 wickets. That's when the rain came down and the match was unavoidably abandoned.
