Bobby stated, "We are absolutely terrible." Only a handful of people know how to throw a baseball and hold a bat.

"But we are willing to get thrashed just for the love and the game."

They were able to defeat the Three Horseshoes of Hernhill on Sunday.

The pub team was limited to 134-4 in 30 overs, even though their star batsman was struck on the head with a wild delivery.

Motley Crew's Daniel Groom scored a record 76 runs before Bobby was run out of steam. Callum Groom, a 14-year-old boy who had never played cricket before, took the 17th run.

Motley Crew CC captain Tom Browning (33), spoke of his pride, especially since his father Steve, 67 had skippered the side back in 1993.
