DODGERS MAN OF THE MATCH - HENRY HILARY
Dodgers two match winning run ended when we were beaten by Merv OSD. All the Dodgers bowlers with the exception of man of the match Henry Hillary, were hammered during a brilliant knock by Merv who retired not out upon reaching his century. Unfortunately, the Dodgers fielding wilted somewhat under the pressure with Merv being dropped at least five times (admittedly some were difficult). Stand in girlie Dodger, the vertically challenged Cianne Brown, fielded well, although she was one of the culprits who dropped Merv (off the easiest chance), only managing to touch the ball with her fingertips. The best fielder was Neil Priest who did some excellent work on the mid wicket boundary, injuring his hand trying to catch Merv.
When Dodgers batted both openers, Peter Harry and John Doyle where bowled by OSD girlie, Tina, who deceived them with the straight ball. Having seen off the deadly Tina, Phil McBarron batted skilfully against the lighting fast J Bushell. Phil McPissedhimself, survived four balls before hiding behind the stumps and being bowled. Injured Neil Priest batted out the rest of the innings supported by excellent innings by the brave Kim 'the cat' Matthews and Henry Hilary.
