Tuesday 11 May was a tale of ins and outs - Park House out the cup and the Tories back in Downing Street - a real Black Tuesday. And yet from the ashes of defeat signs of recovery and the hint that better times may lie ahead.
Batting first PHCC totalled 66 largely due to good knocks from Haern (20) and Crowe(16) a score though surely too low to be competative ? Not so, magnificent bowling from Crowe and Reader backed up by athletic fielding and safe catching really put the pressure on Paddlers and made them fight every inch of the way to reach their target. Pride indeed restored.
The lesson learned ? Easy - working together in adversity and against the odds without betraying your principles is the way forward. Others take heed.
Team : Bandeen, Hearn, Crowe, Reader, Reader, Tipping, Cawthra, Gardiner, Jackson.
