Walnuts Win under the Tree.

Fitzwilliam were the guests in our 4th match of the season, but the Walnuts ran out winners to claim a second win of the season.

Despite heavy rain just before 6pm, play got under way promptly and the sun shone on both the pitch and the Walnuts batting.

The Walnuts posted a formidable total of 140 with significant scores from openers Colin and Garret (19 each) and the middle order of Gerry, Jack and Liam (all hitting 20s).

In reply Fitzwilliam struggled to keep up with the run rate. Colin, Jack, Garret and Philip all claimed a wicket apiece as Fitzwilliam totalled 87, helped by a fine rear-guard knock from captain Kevin.

A great night then followed until the late hours in the club house. Congratulations to MOTMs Jack and Philip and many thanks to Gerry and Jack for providing the catering.

We look forward to our annual Fitzwilliam fixture in 2025.
