A new season begins and Northern get off to a flyer. With an unprecedented 13 players and
with Chris Baker injured selection is largely based on people who
turned up to nets. This shows in the batting with the opening 4
batsman all getting credible knocks. Hood stars with 49 before being
caught in two minds and literally being caught. A middle order
collapse with the non-netters ensued but a brief flourish from captain
Steve Palmer takes Northern to their record scoreline and within 3
runs of the 5th batting point.
The scoreline was never threatened and when new keeper Dave Manley
took a catch behind of the second ball of the Maccabi innings the
writing was on the wall. Russell Palmer was excellent taking 5-7 from
5 overs. Only a poor over from Matthew Rowley and a couple of
dropped catches spoil the performance.
