The Head’sXI scored an impressive 175 all out.M Hoatson (2/20) and S Hoatson(2/31) were the pick of the bowlers.The Head’s XI then set about re-stricting the Chairman’s XI from thefirst over with Mr Graham Bennetts’space and bounce and the flight andguile of Mr Chris Luman’s off spin. It could have been far worse for the Chairman’s XI if the staff team (Mr Brandon Swart) hadn’t dropped so many catches. Mr Andre Leroy had a moment of brilliance to run K Smith out with what can only be described as world-class fielding. The Chairman’s XI struggled along and it was only K Forde (who finished with 32 to his name) who put any pressure on the bowling unit. Mr Luman was the pick of the bowlers (3/10 in 4 overs), exacting his revenge by getting his son, Malcolm Luman, out to endthe game, after Malcolm had done the same in the first innings. The Headmaster’s XI had restricted the Chairman’sXI to 112, winning by 63 runs in the end. Special thanks to the match sponsors PSG Group and Finlaw Consulting who made the day possible.
