Crushing defeat for Seasiders
7:07am Wednesday 14th May 2008
Clacton suffered a miserable day, beaten by eight wickets at home by Vauxhall Mallards.
After losing the toss and being put into bat, the writing was on the wall when Martyn Cull was well-caught in the gully from the first ball of the match.
However, with a fresh determination in the side, they were still positive about posting a good score.
However, with the Vista Road pitch certainly not at its best, low bounce accounted for at least three players.
Clacton managed a total of 84 all out, with only Dave Sargeant (19) and Martin Smith (27) making any runs, and their partnership of 51 for the ninth wicket was the only highlight of a poor display.
Mallards knocked the runs off with ease, with the hosts taking two wickets to earn a point.
