Final game showdown for Minster Cricket Club
Comments |
Minster head into a final day
showdown at Hayes knowing only victory will guarantee them their
Shepherd Neame Kent League Division 2 status.
Anything less and they are reliant on the result at Orpington,
as three teams battle it out to avoid the drop.
A win for Minster would see them
leapfrog Hayes but a defeat would leave them highly vulnerable to
Orpington, who are at home to HSBC and sit four points above the
Island side in the table.
Just eight points separate Minster,
Orpington and Hayes.
It’s a complicated scenario but
captain Nathan Nichol knows his team just need to focus on
winning.
"We’ve got to hope our batsmen turn
up because if we do, we will win and definitely stay up.
"We have to play as a team and
stick as a team."
Opening batsman Gareth Whetnall
plays his last game before returning to Australia and a big
performance from him could be crucial.
Nichol said: "It’s Gareth’s last
game for us and hopefully he’ll go out with a bang and there are a
couple of others who could be playing their last games for the club
and I hope they do the same.
"It’s going to be a big occasion
for some people and they need to stand up to the challenge."
