SUPERSTARS TRIUMPH IN GAME EDGING ON FARCE. |
|
|
|
|

On election day Superstars' first match of the "regular season" was more one sided than
the polls in Knowsley and Hampshire North East and possibly as rewarding for democracy. LU Engineering only managed to bring along 7 players,
one of whom unfortunately was injured by angling the ball into face. Faced with a game that tip-toed along the edge of farce Superstars
shared the bowling around and caught well. In response to a disappointing 53 all out (11 wickets) Superstars lost Gaught for a duck to a rare
bit of quality but Adam and Matt got us most the way there. Steve Smith got a single on debut and Merv got us home. The highlight was probably
Adam catching Matt C while fielding for the opposition. |

Post match drinks took place at the Bull and Last, including the rather wishful
"3 runs" for some of us. We saw an actor who I believe to be Adrian Dunbar in the pub - hopefully Celeb spotting at Superstars games will
become a regular occurance. |
