It was cloudy and a bit chilly when Mick Martin lost the toss and found his side fielding at Farnsfield CC another one of Beefs old “stomping” grounds back in the mid to late 80’s.
Monday repeated itself as Sean Tindale and Niall Burke once again steamed in to submerge the Navy at 48 for 7 wickets.
Opener Parker (26) was 6th out, the only top order double figure scorer.
Tindale & Burke had 2-22 & 2-24 respectively helped by Scott Campbell who spun 4 for 35.
The Navy finally making ‘Nelson’ 111, thanks to tail end resistance from Clarke (28), veteran Piers Moore (16) & Bobb (15).
Dean Skelton held his first victim behind the stumps with two caught by Craig Grimley (Notts) with Shaun Smith taking two more catches for the cameras.
The reply saw 88 posted before the loss of Craig Grimley (29) on his home Nottinghamshire patch, followed by Ted Roe (1) run out going for a second – the Navy still had their chances with the Police struggling for form.
There was time for another wobble with Shaun Smith out for 50 a maiden half century including 5x4’s, 3 runs short of the win.
BP won by 7 wickets – the first consecutive wins since 2014.
MoM presented by Graham Shaw was Shaun Smith
