Match Report - Evening XI
Division Cup vs DRUFC CC
The crabs battled hard and true against arguably the best opponents they’ll face all season but it was not to be.
Taking to the field first, on a soft, sort of well kept pitch down at Kings Mill Lane, the crabs hoped to improved on their L against Hornsea in the other cup last week.
The only wicket coming in the name of J. Pick, a cricket badger known by many for his ability to hit the ball r**t hard, and do a throw real quick, falling foul to the massive grabbers of Director Kirby.
DRUFC would put many runs on, even while the majority of fielding was strong for the crabs. DRUFC putting 166 on, in the 16 overs permitted.
A change of innings, the crabs tried to retaliate. Knowing the run rate required was over 10 an over, it was always going to be an uphill scuttle. A few cheap early wickets fell, leaving it to no other than Mr Driffield, the interviewee, the baby daddy and beaver tale boaster Barton to carry the crabs on his shoulders again.
He jibbed a 50 like, achieving 48*, but he got another red inker and a S/R over 100 so that’s all he cares about..
The crabs ending up on 74, not enough.
Devastated, wounded and heart broken, after his pre-match interview we caught back up with Mr Red Ink for a post match conflab…
“To be fair, I said a lot in my pre-match chat… all I’ve got to say now is that I love Driffield with all my heart, they’ll always be my booski, with the crabs warming to be a close second.. I tried my best, my best wasn’t good enough but we got close I guess. To close, 2026 I will captain HCCC to victory!!!!”
