Saturday 24 July.
Posted by Brian Sanderson,
On Saturday I decided to go to Colchester which is a county ground even though it was a second team match. The ground is situated at the bottom of the Castle park about five minutes from the Centre of the town.The opponent was Harold Wood which is on the outskirt of M25.The field is huge with trees surrounding the ground.The pavilion has no cricket memorabilia.
The match started at one-thirty and would finish with twenty overs at six o,clock.Colchester batted first and scored two hundred and ninety in forty-seven overs. Nathen O,Brien , Australian wicket-keeper, scored one hundred and thirty-three and Andrew Gilhooly scored one hundred and twelve.The bowling was very poor but it still took some getting.
Harold Wood soon collapsed until the opening bowler scored eighty .Together with a young lad they put on a stand of over a hundred.The team scored one hundred and eighty -three and the last wicket fell to a L.B.W with two balls to go.
The match looked like it would finish early but the century stand made a match of it.
