An under strength Roasters XI knew they were in for a tough game, but losing Adam Young at 10 o'clock due to 'fruit and vegetable related

circumstances' was always going to be a tough blow, and so it proved to be as Mount Hawke ran out victorious by 44 runs. Winning the toss for a record 2 games in a row, 'Slippers' Parish put the hosts in on a wet patch and his opening bowlers didn't let him down early doors, 'Lewis' Carvelly bowling Bunt without scoring in the first over before 'Fudge' Dunstan, who always gets his man, took a wicket in his first over, a long hop somehow dropping on the stumps after the batsman had done a couple of twirls! Carvelly then reduced the score to 12-3 bowling Mount Hawke's Dunstan.

 From here though, the fightback began. Mann came in determined mood, enjoying 'Packer' Dunstan's short balls as he rapidly displayed his

strokes and the runs began to flow. Chances were few and far between and his partner appeared a little lost at the other end, but somehow managed to survive for 15 overs before JJ Walker finally took his eyes off the adjoining potato field and fired one of his own spuds through his defence, bowling him for 7. Madeley then came in and shared a 34 run partnership, despite scoring just 7 before Walker enticed him to fist one to 'keeper Bray, the Italian only too pleased to accept! 111- 5.  Despite his efforts, Parish failed to penetrate so turned to Ed 'Paaaaaat' Butcher, and it worked a treat, the left armer fooling Mann and bowling him for 78. Peter was next to go, fingering Walker to Bray without scoring, 117-7. Chinoweth and Sidhu then put on a vital 35 as Walkers overs were complete and Nigel 'Henman' Dunstan returned, but he appeared a little stiff, his length frequently beaten before he finally trapped Sidhu LBW for 12. For the second successive week, poor Italian Bray felt the full force of his bowlers balls on his chin, this time it was Dunstan administering the pain! Chinoweth was next to go, 'Boo Boo' Bonnett taking a brilliant, diving one handed catch, a sight as rare as young Andrew buying a round, but well pouched nonetheless! It was just like being back home as Carvelly failed to remove Cloke, but the re-introduction of Butcher did the trick, the irony being the South African was the one to take the catch.

 Just 3 runs into the reply Boo spooned one to point, and the innings was on the back foot straight away. Mounts opening bowlers displayed an

impressive length, 9-1 the score after 7 overs before JJ decided enough was enough, tucking into Madeley as the runs started to flow. The pair

took the score up to 69, Walker smashing seven 4's and a couple of maximums, enjoying plenty of 'jovial banter' with the opposition, finally surrendering, caught behind for a 39 ball 49. 'Cif' Carvelly was next, trapped in front without scoring, and just 5 runs later Kev 'Jamie' Oliver tickled one behind and the score was reduced to 75-4.  In came Nigel Dunstan, a man used to batting for the other side, but today he played a blinder for his team, starting slowly but then increasing his rythmn as his strokes became more and more impressive, successive maximums out of the ground showing his intent, but after he and Bray had taken the score to 118-4 in the 30th he was bowled for 31 and the collapse began. Butcher was bowled next ball, then Bray's patient 75 ball innings ended, caught for 34. The bottom 5 scored just 3 between them, Dan 'Lizardo' Stidwell undefeated with 2 of them as the fat lady opened her trap, even wiping the smile off his face!  Next week the Roasters visit top of the table Redruth, but luckily have made an important signing, an umpire, to try and prevent the farce of a few seasons ago! Watch this space listeners!
