(above)..Woolley Mick said he had a great time in Sydney on the weekend, even if he had to lie to his teammates about being at the Congo...
The boys went into the game v Bega on the weekend knowing a win would all but assure us of some post season action. As it was we did it in a canter, but with a few unexpected twists and turns!
The first would be the woeful attempted runout in the very first over when Bega decided they would try to go one better than last week and make less then 28. Lucky for them the Bemboka ground crack came to their rescue with an A grade bounce (that's my excuse anyway).
Then we had Motty bowling another inspired spell, but with the wickets added in this week!
At the other end, Grumbles Taylor replaced Donnie after another sharp opening spell and weaved magic of his own. In his second over KT found himself on a Hat trick after removing stumps two balls ina row. The field all moved in, and the brash young chap on strike decided attack was the best form of defence, skewering an outside edge to a forward gully position. Captain Adrenaline threw himself to his right, got solid contact with some fingers but couldn't get his grip on it. Would sure have been some celebration after that speccy had it stuck. As it was Kenny vowed to throw one large rock on Dave's roof every day for the next ten years as retrubution (Bible style). Dave finally peeled himself off the turf during the next over to join the Iron Cordon again. Just in time in fact for his gully mate (nothing to do with the Mardi Gras), to get two fingers to a flying edge off Motty's bowling, which would have given him 5.
Ah, the trials of having two retards in the gully...
All up, another magic bowling/fielding performance, with the icing on the cake being PBone/PDog/SnoopCatt/PussyCatt/PezDog/Pezza coming on to take the final wicket of the innings, ripping a stump out and getting the guy he got out to sign it. He's just seen Maz do it a few times this year and thought he'd join in...
Quick early tea Break and back out to the middle, where the boys, being very mindful of their language (there was a pastor of the church on the opposition), Bobby and PChild/PBrain etc set themselves against the firey Bega opening bowlers. Bobby went early though, exposing the tail, but after some grumbling and shuffling it was the huge shadow of Kenneth Regenald Walter Taylor who strode manfully to the wicket, looking to boost his season average of 2.4. And that he did. With PDiddy playing lovely strokes at the other end, KT went about getting those runs quick smart and come the end of the innings he was well and truely unbeaten on 41. Could have made 141 given the time I'm sure.
SnoopdoggyCatt was also unbeaten, this time on 18, his highest ever score! He got another stump and had the whole of the Bega team sign it to take home as a momento. The two regular Bemboka openers looked at each other in disbelief- not knowing where their place in the order might be for the rest of the season.
After all that 2 hours of excitement, it turns out we're in the 4 for good!
Thats right baby! A few weeks ago we decided it was to be see how we go after a forfeit was followed by a loss, but I think we couldn't really have expected the run we've been on.
Sir Jimmy Banabald Glen will be joining us at the athletics field in Bega this Saturday (someone tell Kenty), for Whyndam, who is our best best for opposition in the semi, so lets show them the exit door to defeat too!
Aim to get to the ground for 12 please. Makes it easier to get ready without rushing our asses off.
Go Bemboka
