FOBS - Last game of home and away

5 Cutters played 5 FOBS - that was the agreement .

FOBS needed a win to make the finals and The Cutters - Mark,Paul,Carlos and Murray,with the help of Tom , a friend of Mark's , were looking to finish off the season on a positive note.

FOBS won the toss and batted . The first pair got off to a flier and racked up 37 as the brains trust of The Cutters worked out a suitable field with the abbreviated number of fielders available.

From here the skill of your favorite indoor cricket team was brought to bear and the final two pairs were only able to add another 29 between them .

Paul's bowling was again instrumental in putting the brakes on .Our fielding was not as good as it could have been - it was just as well the skipper was absent .

Carlos and Paul opened the innings and soon racked up 29 - a great start.
Mark and Murray added 35 ,leaving the pair of Tom , and lucky Paul ,who was given the honours course in batting , little to do.They added 18 - The Cutters running out winners 82 to 66.Tom is moving to Queensland so will leave the team with an unbeaten record.

It's now on to the finals where The Cutters need to continue with the consistent efforts of the past season .

A Great Season Continues

Last night the great season of 2006-2007 continued to roll on .

The Cutters were in the field first against a new opponent WHK Greenwood.Things were not looking too flash as the first pair raced along to 37 .

Some great fielding and bowling from "The Don" helped stem the flow of runs and the next two pairs were only able to manage -1 and 10 respectively.

Set a target of 47 to win ,the opening pair of Dowell and Rock started explosively and almost passed the number on their own .

Another great partnership from the Vlastuin,Donaldson pair consolidated the innings and the final Perry/Hill pair completed what was a very professional performance coming so close to the finals.
