Angry took the Blubbs 1st eleven into a second round tie with Goldborough after knocking out Dacre Banks in the first round of the Atkinson Swires cup last Sunday. Winton lost the toss and had to break the bad news to Angry that Blubbs were batting first on another gloomy afternoon.
Another early exit from the crease for Bubba saw Hasselhoff (72), Gobby(32) and Winton(93) rebuild the innings as Blubbs posted a respectable 258 for 9 from their forty overs.
In reply "the Banks" struggled to get any sort of partnership going with Gobby, Sherman and Winton all picking up two wickets apiece as the ten man Dacre batting line up crumbled to 179 all out in the thirty forth over. Commenting after the game a delighted Angry was soon back in the doldrums after realising he had another tea to sort out for the season, "....it was a good game, I want to go as far as I can in this competition.....teas, no the next rounds away.....it isn't? *#&#!"
