Rob will most likely follow this up with a match report but till then all I can say is that we were comprehensively beaten. Mostly with our batting! We fielded first and despite some heavy totals in the skins managed to get alot of wickets with their final pair to put some respectability back on our side. But it came at a price. I collided with Mick and if you'd ever met Mick you'd know that it's not a good idea to collide with a guy like him! As a result I have rolled my ankle and need X-Rays to confirm if it's a fracture as the doctor is guessing it is.
But I'll have three weeks to get over it anyway as our next match isn't till 9th February! Next week is a holiday with Australia day. The following week we have been allocated a bye! So till then I'll rest up and maybe sometime in between we'll meet up with a pub crawl? Also we'll be working to have new shirts by then as well so we can re-start 2010 with a new look!

Round:5 - Nick's Team Ends Blackout's Winning Streak
Nick's Team's 155 - 129 win over Blackout may have entertained the crowd however the final result was not a true indication of the closeness of tonight's blockbuster.
Nick's Team overcame Blackout's early firepower to post scores of 15, 34, 58, 48. Their resurgence came by controlling the final 11 overs without losing a wicket (despite some tough/lucky chances).
Blackout's response became a concern of their opposition with scores of 29, 28, 45 & 27 placing Blackout closer than their rivals preferred. A couple of wickets proved to be the difference with momentum swinging in favour of the Nick's tonight.
Best for Blackout...
Batting Peter Kite 27, Richo 18, Brett 14
Bowling - Brett 1/9, Keith 1/11, Rob S 1/12
Tonight's Stars... Brett 3, Richo 2, Mark 1
Crowd Figure: 1

Hooters Lose The Grand Final
This is a very quick entry to let everyone know that we walked into the centre just as Hooters finished their Grand Final appearance. When we spotted the opposition getting a team photo taken we realised quickly that not talking to the Hooters and company was probably a wise thin to do! Although when Rob Donovan walked past we did try to get a word out of him but was only brushed off as he was still shaking his head and was not happy. Still the fact they got their at all was impressive as they were lurking on the bottom of the ladder and should hold their heads up for getting such a respectable result in the end! Next season guys!
