Match report: JH
Dodgers got the season off to a fine start with a convincing win over the Ministry of Justice. We chased down a target of 95 fairly comfortably, on a pitch still struggling to dry out after months of torrential drought. Tight Dodgers bowling (Hassan going for only 9 off 4) backed by excellent catching meant that an under-strength MOJ failed to post a high enough total. Strong showings from Lindsey and Hatteea, plus a crepuscular cameo from Hilary, saw us home.
The game was memorable (a) for Michael Dollin's sad demise as he was clean bowled attempting to sweep a donkey drop on his very first ball of the season - returning to the boundary, our normally phlegmatic opener smashed to pieces the innocent plastic box that holds the flags; and (b) more happily, the occasion of Guy Westhead's 1,000th Dodgers run. Congratulations to the OBE!
