Day 7: Guest blogger, Harry Moulding

We woke up to a more filling breakfast of sausage bacon and eggs which the boys thouroughly enjoyed. We set off for our second game in Carriacou against Bishop's College. When we arrived the Pied Piper was itching to get off with his fishing rod and followers. However there was something more important to do than fish. As we warmed up we overheard the groundstaff arguing, which gave Mr Harrison brief amusement. Marcus Mollinga and Adam Galley dominated the bowlers (as usual) and picked up the team from an early fall, with two ducks and two 1's in the top six. Mollinga hit another outstanding century and Galley gave him enough company to achieve a personal 68, with one six which was hit out of the ground. This left the team in a great position and the lower order added runs to end up on 240-7 off 35overs.

In the first 5 overs, 5 wickets fell for 8 runs, with 4 wickets for George Brookes and 1 for the Pied Piper's chief follower, Ryan Vaughan. Then wickets for Moulding and Whalley wrapped up the middle/lower order with the aid of an outstanding catch from George Brookes on the boundary. Then a final wicket in Ropers first delivery finished the day, for Bishops College all out for 76.

As soon as the game finished the Pied Piper was off, and so was his followers. Jones catching a nice metre long Gar, along with a dozen small snappers, jacks and rash. As the day was coming towards its end, Jones struck again catching an amazing squid.

Overall the day was a great success and we hope it will carry on tomorrow and so will Marcus's centuries.
