In an exciting match against Polegate and Stone Cross On Saturday, we lost in the very last over as Polegate overtook our total of 157 all out in 50 overs.
In the Sidley innings, Dane Capon and Josh Bull were out cheaply, but Paul Oxborrow (33), Ian Mollart (18) and Jim Stewart (23) made important contributions to help us post a reasonable total. Some tight bowling from Trevor Ramsden (3-37) and Jim Stewart (3-27) ensured that the host side had to work hard for their runs.
The key factor in this match was Polegate and Stone Cross winning the toss and making Sidley work hard for runs on a soft, greentop of a pitch (interesting to note that 6 Sidley batsmen were clean bowled. As the pitch dried out, conditions became much easier for the batsmen, and we did well to take 8 wickets. We collected 12 points from the game.
