Season kicks off with low scoring Draw

Apologies to the 100's!!! of fans who were bored to tears by the slow overates and scoring . Batting 1st on a slow soft pitch scoring was difficult and this was compounded by our batsman collapsing from a relatively good start of 42 for 2 to 66-9 a last5 wicket partnership of 60 between Ottewell Snr & Walker Jnr gave a total of 126 this gave Aston the task of scoring @ 4 runs an over in the 1hr 50 mins remaining . They were soon reduced to 21 -3 eventually holding out for a draw on 75-4 when the time ran out at 7.00pm .

First Hat-trick of the Season

Not one we will want to dwell on as it makes the number of cancelled matches so far 3 out of 3 .Better luck with the weather tomorrow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
