We lifted the South Yokshire North Derbyshire Sunday Cup, just, on Sunday by 2 wickets against Hundall. A game which ended up tense although it never should have been. Hundall 118-9 (Hibbert 48, Hampshire 30*, Winter 3-14, Butler 3-21, Miller 2-30, Longley 1-12), OEC 119-8 (Ash 28*), 6 balls to spare.Not great weather for a cup final and the pitch was slow, but a good game looked in prospect. Hundall won the toss and batted, probably the correct decision but which backfired a little as the wickets tumbled. After Mick the Miller went for 9 in his first over the run flow was cut off abruptly by Angry (3-14 from 8) and Mick the (3-30 from 8) as barely a bad ball was bowled and wickets fell steadily. The ball was swinging in well which made the Hundall opener's decision to shoulder arms pretty well suicidal. Absolutely plum dead. Continued pressure left the score at 10 overs about 20-3 and 20 overs about 45-4. Longers (1-12 from 8) got the key wicket aided by the drinks break when he bowled ex-Collegiate Woody first ball after the resumption. The pressure was continued with Dicko and Butts (3-21 from 8) both making scoring difficult. Despite useful innings form Hibbert (48 or so) and ex-Collegiate Hampshire (30-odd*) the final total of 118-9 never looked enough. We felt even that was a few too many as we felt the third umpire would have ruled in our favour on 2 stumping appeals, and Hants was almosr ready to walk himself on an LBW shout. It never looked enough at 60 or so for 2 either but then a series of mishaps turned the game into a very tense affair. Ringo was run out at the bowler's end by a deflection off the bowler's fingers, Wright was run out from a poor call, Simmo was LBW to a ball that looked leg-sidish, Butler was LBW despite getting a good stride in and Longers was LBW despite the click of the thick edge echoing around the ground. A couple of other really poor shots (right DV?) and we needed 30 odd from about 7 overs. At that point Ash and Miller stopped the panic and in the end we came home to a good win in a game played in good spirit by 6 balls. I though it a bit mean that no medals were awarded. Hopefully the club will do the decent thing and produce some for the players. I'm sure the league could have put the boat out that far. Instead we ended up with a bottle of Tesco universal paint stripper and verucca ointment laughingly called champagne between us.
