Week 62 – May 17th – Week 1 of lockdown easing phase 3 May 22nd 19:00
Speldhurst 136-7 in 30 overs (James Roche 69, Zeeshan Toor 7-0-42-2, Richard Dawes 7-3-9-2, Dinesh Patel 6-0-29-2) lost to Pembury 138-2 in 28.1 overs (Andrew Dawes 45, Neil Mobbs 68*) by 8 wickets.
In another match that was reduced to 30 overs, another fine knock by James Roche held Speldhurt together to post 136-7. with the only real support from James Flemington (22)
I got out to bat, but didn’t face a ball, so was 0 not out.
Just after Pembury chase started, there was a big shower, that made it not possible for the quick bowlers to bowl and through openers Andrew Dawes (45) and (Neil Mobbs 68*), Pembury eased to an 8 wicket victory.

Today was the second part of the face to face modules for the cricket coaching.
Today you had to do a session on bowling and batting. We were in the same groups as last week.
We manage to complete it just before it poured down and I passed to get my ECB Foundation 1 coach level 1.

I applied this morning to be part of the ECB coaching association, which I can become a member once I pass the course that I’m doing.
If I do pass, gives access to more coaching tools and information.
