Spartans' Highway to defeat
7:00am Thursday 4th September 2008
IN A VERY one-sided Bank Holiday Sunday game, Sully Spartans were beaten by 6 wickets at the hands of Cardiff Highways.
Once again inept batting by all except two of the Spartans batsmen led to a miserable and embarrassing total of 73.
After the loss of an early wicket, D Morgan 24 and A Angove 24 put on 48 for the second wicket and at 52-1 a respectable total looked on the cards, but after both were dismissed by good deliveries from Evans 3-10, the usual collapse followed and only 21 more runs were added.
In reply only M Coran 2-23 and Sam German 1-24 gave the Highways batsmen any problems.
Spartans: D Morgan 24, A Angove 24.
Cardiff Highways: M Coran 2-23, D Morgan 1-16, S German 1-24.

I remember that...
I HAVE attached an old picture of Daisy the donkey, with my father Charles Davies who was the gardener in the Seaview Children’s home Bradford Place, and an unknown rider. The field opposite the home was named the Donkey Field. I wonder if anyone remembers Daisy? I think I took the picture in the late 1950s. Daisy lived in a stable in the grounds and one of my jobs was to bring her in at night from the field. My aim was to ride Daisy from the field through the side driveway to her stable, but Daisy always took the corner with a fast swerve and I regularly fell off.
