After a relaxed interval Dave Thompson and Ritchie opened up and the BCC big guns were under pressure. Ritchie kept his end tight but Dave was a tad wayward and got punished. Dyson extended his lead in the catching competition, but back came the Hill tag-team with four of their own. Not to be outdone, Dyson pouched another couple himself. The bowling was swapped around and Scotty got in the wickets, as did Dobby, with a terrific caught and bowled. With wickets tumbling 11 year old Jack came to the crease, dollied one up first ball and wandered back. A request for him to bat again was rejected by the Jesters skipper (If your playing with the big boys.....). Ronald took offence to this and at the fall of the ninth wicket, decided to pad up and have a go himself. The Jesters waited 10 minutes for him to be ready and take guard, and then proceed to stonewall everything in protest. Still, Ives was too good for him and the game ended with frayed tempers, and continued complaints that we should have let the small boy bat again.
