    The annual cricket match between Fai;sworthblues and the vault select _x1 took place as usual on bank holiday Monday.The weather was very poor and select chose to bat first and posted a very impressive 124.The weather took a turn for the worst and made for difficult batting but opener Ray Stacey made a splendid start for the Blues scoring 25 and retiring,a few controversial umpiring decisions cost the blues more wickets,still needing slightly more than a run a ball it was left to captain Terry Pickup ably assisted by David Akin to steady the ship and it was left to Jason Bailey to score the winning run off the very last ball.A memorable win for Failsworthblues.
