2004 RESULTS

The Old Timers welcomed 2 new players Peter Barratt and Justin Horsnell. Tony Smyth's wrist is healing well as is Ian Cairns dislocated elbow. While Adrian who had a minor heart attack a couple of weeks ago played for 3 innings. Team seemed very rusty after the winter break.

Had a good play when Mariner hit ball deep in left field (a home run hit) Ian (7) chased it threw into Pete (6) relayed to Justin(5) threw to John Turpin (2) who tagged runner. There were 2 double plays as well. Infield fly and Pete(4) unassisted. Tony fly 1 the 1-5 Tony to Justin. Everyone enjoyed game, Mariners too.

Enjoyable game but very very hot and sticky. Man of the match has to be Justin Horsnell who had two Home runs and made some fantastic catches in the Outfield covering ground between left field, centre field, and right field as well as behind short stop and second base. Well done Justin.

Another good game from the Old Timers. Good work from pitchers Paul Raybould and Peter Barratt. Catches from Mike, Justin Alan and Peter. Congratulations to Dickir, Mariners Short Stop/ Pitcher who had a perfect Home Run. Enjoyable to watch.

They came with 6 players so we lent them Phil Laing and John Thomas. We were very weak as several of our players are either injured, on holiday, attending other functions or family commitments. We then only had 8 players each and we enlisted the help of John Turpins two sons, Richard 12 years and Alex 11 years. Richard played for Hounslow and Alex for the OTBC. Both did extremely well Richard had a good fly catch at right field putting out our pitcher Paul plus scoring a run, while Alex crossed the plate twice for the Old Timers. Quite an age difference on the team ,the eldest John Thomas at 76 and Alex 11 years.

Old Timers came second again but final game was great. Played full nine innings and they gained the winning run in the 9th. Had hoped to win as a tribute to Terry.
