Steve's back with a bang

I wasn't able to play on Tuesday, versus BT at Oswestry School, but I have received the following message from the talismanic Steve Daulby who, as you will gather from the extract below, returned to action after a six week injury lay-off.

I think I was 2nd highest scorer with a massive contribution of 8!!! ( Justin high 20’s) but what a return with the ball, three for circa eight off 4 overs with the chance of a hat-trick - batsman just played a “dead” bat surrounded by close fielders!

“Daulby is back; Daulby is back” the hordes of fans were screaming from the packed stadium [Editor's note: there may be a little artistic license in this description].

As you may have gathered with me being second highest scorer on eight, we lost. We got 80 but it took BT to the last over to surpass with only one or two of wickets left.

So there we are - now we're all busy preparing for Sunday's 40-over clash with Shropshire Health Authority at Acton Reynald. It's time we rediscovered our winning ways.
