Grace's CC v London Fields CC, 5 June 2005

Congratulations to everyone on our win against London fields - including skipper Bielby for his impressive 4 wickets for 3 runs.

The weather stayed clear for a remarkable day where Grace's were skittled out for 129 on a shooter of a wicket, where many batsmen lost their off stump because of low or inconsistent bounce. Batsmen really had to apply themselves in order to make any impression. Fortunately, after some tricky umpiring, Grace's put together a fifty partnership with Bielby (21) and Camberwell (30), top-scorers in the match. Egged on by welcome home supporters, Grace's bowled sensibly and fielded well, to constrict a strong London Fields side, who batted without great application or determination.
