Stoke Gifford’s cricketing ‘superstars’ turned out for another Sunday fixture at Winterbourne today.
The home side were fully expecting to bat first, regardless of who won the toss, but Dan ‘Five Bellies’ Dunt, with half an eye on a late afternoon pint, had other ideas and elected to bat first, much to the opposition’s annoyance.
In time-honoured fashion, Gifford wickets started tumbling but to everyone’s amazement Aaron Jones led a half decent fightback with 49.
Lamber did even better with a battling 69, receiving excellent support (I am not making this up) from foul-mouthed gobshite Bowers who received a standing ovation from his team mates when completing his, er, 47. He did go on to get 52 so fair play that man.
Those expecting a close finish were a tad disappointed as Winterbourne got home by nine wickets with just the 10 overs to spare!
The yellow jacket was shared between Harry Black, Guy ‘Goldilocks’ Long and Nigel’s far better looking and more talented brother Stefan.
Stefan declined the invitation to down a pint in a race against Long and Black and instead Lamber produced what appeared to be Class A drugs for the young man to consume.
It turned out to be Smarties and he still ate them too slowly.
