Despite a comprehensive win against Skipwith on the final morning of term, with Peers taking 3 wickets, Orchard could only make 85 runs against a very accurate Welsh bowling attack. Under leaden skies and a few spots of rain, Welsh batted with confidence and reached the total with 2 overs to spare. Even a few dropped catches would not have prevented the purples winning.
Alex Collis hit some powerful shots and Charles Marsden's late cameo made the Orchrd score very respectable.
With the Tug of War and Swimming Gala still to come, Orchard's chance of winning the Baldry have gone, but I know Mr Curtis is already planning next year's camapaign and it would be good to see Orchard win the trophy for the first time since 2006.
