Reduced to 14 overs. Captain of the day Jonathan Campbell reports:
"Pacific lost its first game of the 8s season against conference-topping
Goodmayes in a reasonably close game reduced to 14 overs per
side. The difference in the teams proved to be the last minute absence of
Pacific's two strike bowlers Allum and Roberts.
"Batting first, Pacific scored
133-4; Webley and Campbell getting into the 30s and newcomer Sharaz getting
a useful 20. Pacific were never able to put a brake on the scoring and the
winning runs were scored by Goodmayes in the penultimate over with only two
wickets down.
"Lucius and Aroon were the pick of the bowlers. Bob Willis (off his
longer run) took a clean bowled at the death to bring back some good
memories. A game played in excellent spirits but ultimately a comfortable
victory for the oppo."
