Joah Bartlett nailed the headline on the back of the BDN...
Christmas came a few weeks late for Jimmy Glen on the weekend. A superb unbeaten ton, not seen since the likes of the great man McLoskey at Kammy this year won the game for the boys in the run chase.
Yeah, there was other stuff happening-Jimmy went for 28 off one over(all is forgiven), Dunko got Chilli first ball, some dude dived across the concrete path feilding for Bega for our entertainment, Bretto starred with the ball, Donnie bowled another of those unplayable yorkers, Maz took a wicket, Dave got himself out again, Mick Motbey was more economical with the ball than Fox with his wallet at the pub, etc etc, but it was Jimmy's day.
Jimmy had all the shots. He hit 16 boundaries (66runs in total), cut like a master, took the quick singles, had a couple of chances, but in the end, the freight train that is Jimmy on a mission ground Bega into the dirt and erased the memory of his final bowl for the year in the process.
Bretto started well again, Bobby was kind enough to give his employer an early wicket, Dave clocked up #39 for his book 'how to get yourself out 6000 dufferent ways in a season', Dunko got a rough one from his favourit brother, then Barney came out and blasted along at 10 an over to have the game won with 8 overs to go.
After a post match conversation with Mick Wooley who told him the day he hit his forst ton was when the lovely Kylie said- 'hit 50 today and I'll give you a BJ', jimmy was left wishing he'd had the same inspiration. Alas, that will have to wait for the big man.
The boys have given Whyndam a repreive this weeknd forfeiting in lieu of Barney's wedding (get married on Sunday next time) , but will be looking to roll on strongly into finals (if we make it), and give the oppositon some more Jimmy and McLoskey Curry with the Bat.
Don't forget to get on down and keep that bowling machine spinning over the next week- great timing practice for batting...
Merry Wedding day to Emma and Barney!
