Saved by the rain

For some reason the Seconds rarely put on a show against Gedling & Sherwood and no change for the last game of the season. With poor weather forecast, in addition to early morning rain, the captains agreed 36 overs per side. Eddy G lost the toss again (15 out of 17) and the batting went all collapse callipso: 13/5 in 8 overs. The wise heads of Matt Footitt and M T Raza put in some resistance and at least avoided the embarrassment of not needing 36 overs as a combined number for both sides. By the time G&S started their reply (looking for a rapid win) it was getting dark. Uzzy Aziz struck and then did the thunder and lightening and that was it. However, G&S are second and get promoted and the Ells are a solid 5th.
