Innings Report
On a glorious spring afternoon GLCC captain Mitchinson won the toss and had no hesitation in electing to bat, backing his team to piles up the runs in the sun. Choudhury and Douglas opened up looked to set the tone for a big score. Choudhury was unlucky to edge a beauty from Woakes to Root at slip. In came Perez with a quickfire 26 before being trapped lbw bringing to the crease skipper Mitchinson. Douglas was next to fall for a stylish 46 before Davies rode his luck somehow making 86 despite offering several chances. While Mitchinson held the innings together, the incoming Dave Snutch (48) and Hawes (40) both played with freedom producing entertaining knocks before Mel Snutch came in and smashed 64 in no time, finishing not out alongside Mitchinson whose 90 was the glue that held GoodGym Leicester's imposing 404-6 together. A challenging total that will take some overhauling in the reply.
