There’s nothing like a bit of experience when it comes to winning a tight cricket match – and Mottisfont’s ‘Dad’s Army of a team had plenty of that when they beat Laverstock & Ford by one run in a Hampshire League Division 4 West thriller.
The Font sent out a team with a combined age of 579 years, one player aged 70, three in their mid to late 60s and there more of 54 years or more.
Richard Blake (47 runs) and Ian Bradwell (34) top scored in Mottifont’s 155-9, Laverstock finishing one short at 154 all out,
Bradwell completed a fine day’s work with figures of 3-38, while Blake, Proctor and Patel took two wickets each.
