'The rumours of my demise are greatly exaggerated' Excalibur speaks

The Woodies won their last home game in style last night thanks to a decent batting and bowling performance.

Fielding first, the Warriors managed to keep Riddlesden run rate under control while also taking several wickets. In fact more wickets would have been taken had one of the Riddlers players not given himself 3 lives after being caught by Tom and then runout before being bowled by Jim.

There was plenty of other incident, JK managed to bowl hardly any full tosses, Ste Stead provided a spectacular catch on the boundary (and then nearly walked over the boundary),, Nick also got his third cracking catch in 3 games to banish those 'wedding ring' jokes once and for all (well up until he next drops one). Then Gangas had a heated discussion with Captain Kunz about the price of fishcakes in Kazakhstan, (later it was discovered that RG was upset about Jim forgetting his scoreboard).

The Riddlers finished with a decent 133.

JK and Gangas opened the batting, well Gangas did (offsetting his bowling in fine style). Ste and John Morris (who gave Riddlesden a lesson in morality), had good innings, but Ste,JK and Gangas all complained that Excalibur had lost it, being as dead as Leeds United. When Jim and Paxy began their partnership however, Excalibur crushed their words like a butterfly on a wheel exposing them as the amateurs they are. Jim flashed the mighty lump of willow, scoring 22 in the last over alone (this suprised Paxy who had just been told 'I'll give you the strike' by Jim).

In the end they praised Jim and promised to hold feasts in his honour.
