vs. TMW [32-7]

Sorry about the general tardiness of this match report and quite frankly I can't remember too much about it, so we will be brief.

The King's Road massive (well, their captain was) swaggered into our manor with the confidence befitting an unbeaten team. They left in the manner of a diminutive Welsh chanteuse. Indeed, by the end of the fifth innings they were begging for 'Mercy'. (See what I did there?)

And who can blame them? After a sustained bickering contest over the finer points of the rules for the first two innings, TMW proved they were well ahead in terms of sneaky ways to get people out, but lagged far behind in terms of softball talent.

With just 10 players (thanks to last-minute Milly, pitching up to spare our blushes) and no subs it could have gone badly for us. But didn't.

We shot out of the blocks and hammered out 12 rounds in the first innings and a further eight in the second. TMW's reply was 1 in the first and 0, yes 0, in the second.

As it was getting a bit nippy and we all fancied a pint, TMW displayed further, final in-depth knowledge of the rule book, invoked the 'Mercy' protocol and fell on their collective swords (bats?) at the bottom of the fifth. Blinding.
