Ken Block Trophy
BANK TOURNAMENT, THURS 28 JUNE 2012
HONOURS EVEN AS SUPERSTARS WIN ONE, LOSE ONE AT ROEHAMPTON
A planned four team tournament was reduced to three,
by the frustratingly late withdrawl of the team from HMT.
Supers opened up the day by taking on the hosts,
Never having beaten them, looking to expel ghosts.
Bank batted well as Keates complained the ball just wasn't swervin'
Thankfully to the rescue came our very own Guv'nor Mervyn.
Merv's tidy spell from the building site end was the best we'd ever seen,
Leaving our lenghty batting order to chase a par(ish) one-nineteen.
Vijay and Meyler bashed and boshed - a solid opening pair,
With Walker and Bartlett following up with undisputed flair.
Our opening four scored ninety five - keeping well above the rate,
Leaving Gaught and Mountain to nurdle home with victory on a plate.
Speaking of plates - the one moot point - that jarred with Poppy and me,
Was the shocking and heart-breaking withdrawl of the provision of the tea.
So moving on - Bank went back out to face Dragons KAI,
And won coz Dragons couldn't get a last ball four to tie.
The final game saw Dragons get 139 - batting well and riding their luck,
The only solace for Superstars was running their skipper out for a duck.
Vijay starred again with bat - and Thornton weighed in too,
But with run-outs and good bowling, the apprehension grew.
The last ball came came - and returning for three - Roy came up just short,
Following in the footsteps of the previously run-out captain Gaught.
The team was left dejected - rueing what could have been,
Roy'd managed two - but truth be told - he'd needed seventeen.
