MRC - MACC Annual Cricket Match is tomorrow!

[veitchy]

Just in case the heading to the other thread has caused any confusion, I confirm that this year's match between MRC & Moseley Ashfield takes place tomorrow evening, Friday 12th July at the MACC ground in Yardley Wood Road, opposite the Covered Wagon.

As usual, it is a 20-20 match starting at 6.00 (for 6.30!) and is played for the Memorial Trophy, MRC being the holders.

Do come along and support the boys on which should be an enjoyable, convivial and sunny evening!

Just wanted to say thank you to all involved for a great evening last night, not forgetting the sterling fielding by Matt Cox that made all the difference!

I hear it was a tie!
Anyone got the details?

For the first time in its history, the result of the cricket match between MRC and Moseley Ashfield CC on Friday 12th July was a tie, thus ensuring a finish even more nail biting than that of the first Ashes Test! As the holders from last year, MRC retains the Memorial Trophy.

Rumours of a frighteningly high score of about 220 by MACC are, apparently, unfounded as the relevant score book (one of about 3 which seemed to be in circulation) indicates 195!

Bryan Skeeles is putting a report together and I will post it as soon as it is available.
