Outgunned!

The Outwood Outlaws quest to retain their T20 title came to an end with defeat at the hands of a strong Capel side.

Winning the toss, skipper Dru Tunstall opted to bowl and within the first few overs we realised we were up against much tougher opposition than we had hitherto faced.

Despite taking wickets at regular intervals, all the Capel batters scored rapidly and they clearly had some depth to their batting as they compiled 181 runs in their 20 overs.

Outwood made a good start in reply, losing their first wicket withh the score on 54, but we were never able to acheive the run rate required to haul in the Capel total, falling 20 runs short with five wickets down.

So, no finals day for us this year, but again a great performance by our young team and an opportunity to go again next year.

Capel look a good bet for finals day in both the Plate and Cup and we wish them well for the rest of the season.
