Match report by M Samuel

Finally the rain held off and Glossop vets could pull on the whites again and entertain their patient fans. On an overcast evening and a tricky wicket the Vets were able to give debuts to Phil Hagerty and Steve Kirkham. Phil was thrown in at the deep end, opening the bowling with Rick Ingham. Some great stuff early on lead to the first wicket with Rick building the pressure and causing Mark Norris to send a loopy catch out to mid wicket which Colin Taylor took with a forward diving catch. Wickets were tough to get in the middle overs but some excellent fielding from Jay Allen, Rob Peck, Steve Kirkham and Lewis Calvert helped restrict the runs Charlesworth were accumulating. The pressure was building in the last 4 overs for Charlesworth to post a big score but a wicket for Jay and an edge off Colins bowling with an incredible diving catch down the right hand side by Andy Wilde behind the stumps, capped off a good evening for Glossop's wicketkeeper and Glossop were set 109 to win.


Lewis was promoted up the order to open with Steve Marsh and started well with 13 from 13 balls but on a tough wicket with fading light conditions it was Steve who keep things moving early on. Tim Halpin came in at number 3 and sh owed his destructive power with 2 early boundaries but was unlucky with one that popped up a bit and was caught out. This brought Paul Edgar to the crease who instantly upped the tempo and got some quick singles on the board. Steve and Paul got to work and kept the run rate under control. 4 boundaries later Paul had scored a fabulous 26 from 20 balls and was retired and Steve was out for 19 setting up a nervy last 4 overs but an achievable target. With Colin and Jay at the crease runs were tough to come by but Jay took it upon himself and smashed 2 boundaries in the 19th over to steer Glossop vets to victory and spark wild celebrations in front of the clubhouse.

Tough call for Man of the Match btw Paul Edgar ( 2 overs 4 runs and 26*) and Jay Allen ( 2 overs 7 runs 1 wicket and 18*) but Jay just takes it with 2 great bits of fielding, putting his body on line.

Great overall team performance but will look at working on bowling length and quick singles in the next game. There will be selection headaches as the Vets are expected to welcome back Rick Marsden and Sam but we go marching on.

Up the Vets 🏏🍺πŸ’ͺ
