REPORT BY DRB

To open their season the Jesters traveled to Idle C.C. to find an opposition side captained by Jesters "old boy" Andy 'rocker' Robinson & containing 5 of their successful junior side & indeed during this game they did credit to their club.

One debutant with a potential future other.Peter Hall, just returned from a spell in the former soviet block opened the batting with fellow Olicanian & debutant James Hudson & a 50 opening stand (all leg side) represented a good start. Alex Lines playing for the 1st time without father Phil who declared himself unavailable due to 'age unfitness' but who has had his son in a grow bag all winter (up 3 shoe sizes in one afternoon in December apparently) shared an entertaining stand with the ever elegant Chris Boden.waiting turns to bat With overs running out the experienced middle order, all eager to get lower in the order came & went swiftly including Moggy, dismissed by a cunning 10 year old; We now know where we went wrong all those times he played against us & never failed! A couple of Matt Hill leg-glances & later when fielding dives over the ball reminded us of absent fathers. A late flourish from skipper Bell & Kirkheaton representative the Lines familyAndy Gray took the score past the 200 mark. A late goodwill gesture from the skipper letting in veteran spinner Scott for yet another red-inker & helping him in his quest to catch Mr. nasty in that category in the annals.

 The Jesters yet again fell for the old mistake of over-indulgence with the sausages & chips on offer at tea. (School boy error)the Bell/Nicholson family

The Idle reply scorecard shows that it was dominated statically by Gavin Lyons but it does not tell the full story of how well the many youngsters batted, especially against the wiles of poppodom fingers Waite & Scottie. Wickets were taken just regularly enough for Idle to slip behind the required run-rate. With some noted excellent fielders in the Jesters side some good catches were taken particularly by James Hudson & 3 by Andy Gray but to equalize that & to show that some things never change veterans Bell & Scott both managed to drop 1 each!
