Bohemians batter Strollers to secure easy win
posted: August 7, 2016

Our recent winning streak sadly came to an end this afternoon at Calthorpe CC where a hybrid side comprised of Strollers and — due to numerous holiday absences on our part — guesting Highgate Irregulars were well beaten by the in-form batsmen of the Battersea Bohemians.

Having won the toss on a hot, sunny afternoon Gav predictably opted to bat first. However, despite another fine knock of 68 by Tony, supported by a solid 32 from the skipper, we were only able to post a modest 212 from our 40 overs.

With only limited bowling options at our disposal, the Bohos cashed in and battered their way with ease to their target, their only loss being that of Josh Jones who, with the score on 49, was sharply caught by Gav at gully. However, from then on, unfortunately it was all one way traffic led by young Tom Monson who recorded a fine century just before the Bohemians romped over the winning line in the 26th over.
