> On a bright sunny morning at Harefield, Coggeshall were sent into the field against a very strong Rainham.
> Their opening partnership of 57 was finally broken in the 11th over. Then a steady trickle of wickets kept Coggy in the game and when their very good left handed opener was out for 47 Coggy tightened the screws and got them all out for 134 with 7 lads sharing the wickets.
> After a quick drinks break I phoned my wife and suggested she held off bringing the food up as it would be 2 hours before it was needed, after 2.3 overs and 9-4 I had to phone home and suggest food arrived pretty quick!! 3 early run outs were not ideal!! But then Xander and George Morris started to knuckle down and make the score look less like a white wash!! Then Sam Donnelly and Johny Allen carried on their good work and stole some quick singles and managed to get the score up to the 90's before sam got out, then with a very level head jj Surguy managed to up the anti with Johny and a very unlikely looking win came the boys way with 11 balls to spare.
> The pleasure I get from seeing these lads refuse to give in, in dire situations is immeasurable.
> Congratulations lads lots to work on but great win!!

I forgot to add a huge thank you to Dane for umpiring, Paul for scoring, And all the ladies for their help with the food today.
Today's Man of the match was Johnny Allan for his unbeaten 34 and also took a wicket and a catch.
