The Superstars arrived pretty promptly. As did the opposition. Unfortunately the
stumps and boundary flags hadn't arrived. This was a problem. Apparently the captain, who hadn't arrived, had them
and the pub who had a spare set was too busy to nip out the back to get them. I'm not totally sure what happened
but eventually some stumps appeared. Phew. |

Barry, inevitably, lost the toss and we were asked to field. After a decent start
with Konrad and the guesting Ray picking up a wicket each Dan Forman entered the action and bowled beautifully taking
three wickets at a reasonable rate and taking a great catch. Unfortunately Mike D, Ben B and Larne weren't able to contain
the excellent PH middle order and they ended on 201 in their (shortened due to the lack of stumps) innings of 25 overs. |

Superstars never really looked likely to chase down the runs but good efforts
from Paul GA, Barry and debutant Joe Larne at least got the total to three figures (108) and kept the deficit
to two digits - 93 runs. |

|
Not the greatest of performances from Superstars but a good drink after put that to rights. |
