Cokethorpe School 1 May 2024

Manager Paddy Daniel

Abandoned

SOA 187 for 8 dec (Alex Ross 45)

Cokethorpe 52 for 3 (Danny Dawson 2 for 30) 

SOA arrived at Cokethorpe School on what was a warmer than normal day to make a change. Electing to bat first the SOA got off to a steady start with Trevon Burgess from Barbados scoring a breezy 19 & Dan Edwards a less breezy 29. The main stay of the innings was Alex Ross 45 ably supported by Hook, Daniel & Bishop all making double figures. This allowed the SOA to declare on 187 for 8 off 32 overs a slightly earlier than normal declaration in the hope of getting a good chance to bowl the school out before the impending rain arrived.

Unfortunately the SOA bowlers had only managed 11 overs with the school reaching 52 for 3. Dawson getting 2 & Bishop 1 wickets. The rain arrived & not much encouragement was needed to retire for a drink.

Many thanks to Gary Pannons & Russell Hayes for officiating & scoring.
