Strollers vs Battersea Bohemians, 15 September 2024

It was a joyful return to our old stomping ground at North London CC as we emerged victorious over old foes the Battersea Bohemians in our penultimate match of the 2024 campaign. Winning the toss yet again Spencer chose to make the most of the sunny conditions and opted to bat first. We started strongly with some sublime batting in a handsome third wicket partnership between Abhik and Tim who notched up half centuries apiece.

However we faltered slightly when Jack Kohler, guesting from the Trundlers, was brought into the attack and skittled our middle order with 5 wickets including a stunning hat trick. Thankfully Harry (24) and Spencer (25 not out) mounted a rearguard action that took our total up to 247-9 ...an impressive total to post on the main pitch.

Nevertheless, following tea, after Gaurav and Davie G had dislodged the two openers the Bohos rebounded well with Guy Grainger carding a trademark fifty, supported by newcomer Joy who remained unbeaten for the rest of the innings. Thankfully some impressive fielding on our part led to a trio of run outs courtesy of Gaurav and Parth behind the stumps and the oppo faltered. With Spencer and Saurabh also getting into the wickets by the time the Bohos' ninth batsman fell with their score at 203 and with less than two overs remaining Rob Archdale decided enough was enough and conceded the game rather than strap on the pads for a late evening knock in a losing cause, and it was happy handshakes all round.

One more game to go then – let's take our late summer winning streak through the finish line!
