A game that swung both ways ended with a disappointing
climax as the Roasters ran out second best to an efficient Goldsithney
side, sure to be challenging for honours as the season progresses. Goldsithney had a strong attack, runs hard to come
by. 'Chubby' Williams finally removed for 11 from 42 balls, JJ Walker
bowled by the accurate Murray just as the runs began to flow for him.
Next was the controversy - 'Twiggy' Thomas apparently caught and bowled,
but neither umpires could confirm the catch was good, so Twiggy survived,
although his parentage, honesty and knowledge of language too strong
for a family publication, was questioned until his departure for an
entertaining 49 from just 60 balls. Carvelly didn't have the red mist,
more a shade of his preferred white. Power strokes to all around the
ground saw him race to 30 from just 24 balls, and the game looking
like it was headiing the way of the home side, when Murray took the
crucial wicket, bowling the Afrikaan paceman, 130 for 4 in the 25th
over. Port had plenty of overs left, but it was only Ken Boon who
made double figures as the lower order all failed to chip in the vital
runs, falling 27 short, but also not using almost 8 overs. No roasting
this Saturday as Botallack are the Sunday visitors to the Roasters
