Mike Nattrass contributed with bat and ball
2s picked up their 1st win of the season in a closely contested game at Methlick. Having been bowled out for 121 in 37.4 overs on a challenging pitch, FPs managed to defend the total restricting Methlick to 116 for 8. A fine 37 not out from Tom Murray and 30 from opener Mike Nattrass were the mainstays of FPs score, extras also making a more than useful 25.
FPs then picked up wickets regularly reducing Methlick to 88 for 8, Aman Sood claiming a magnificent 5 for 14 in his 9 overs, Agha Haider took 2 for 31 in 9 overs and Mike Nattrass bowled a miserly spell of 1 for 18 in 7 overs including 3 maidens. Bremaneson and Davis combined to add an unbeaten 28 for the 9th wicket for Methlick but they ran out of time as 2s claimed the win. While it is a tough ask, 2s still have an outside chance of escaping relegation and that has to be the aim in the remaining games.
