It was T Shirt Weather at Station Ground as the 1st XI made 2 changes for the visit of Barton.
With the outfield dry like Brazil, Choules won the toss and elected to bat as was The Promise.
Despite Fielder falling early, Robbins and Chilcott put on The Greatest Show to hammer Thors to 70-1 from the first 10 overs.
By the time Robbins fell for a well made 59 the score was 90-2 and Van Der Meulen picked up where Robbins left off.
Both Chilly and Jason passed 50 in consecutive overs, Jason in particular finding the boundary with force leaving some Thors supporters to think- You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid.
When Jason fell for 61 a score of 300 was on the cards but Barton tightened up their bowling, led by their Skipper Adam Parker. Greed and Choules departed for 2 and 0 respectively, the latter unlucky to be adjudged caught behind.
There was no need to Look Back in Anger though as Chilcott soon passed his 100 and Daldorph slapped 28 not out to leave the hosts on 281-5 from the 50 overs.
After a quality tea debut from Maria Tandy with no Peanut Butter Jelly sandwiches in sight, it was About Damn Time to do some fielding.
Slaviero and Daldroph bowled with great discipline to keep it tight in the first 10, the score on 33-2. Daldroph picking up the 2 wickets, both caught well by Jopling.
Hooper and Jopling himself were then introduced, both getting the ball to Jump Around. Jop picked up a wicket straight after the first drinks and with the score on 63-3 from 18 and Thors had the ascendency.
Choules replaced Hooper at the pavilion end and after toiling for a few overs removed his opposite number, Parker caught behind.
With 20 overs to go the score was 119-4 and Robbins was introduced for perhaps his spell of the season so far. The hosts picked up wickets at regular intervals and Slaverio and Daldroph were reintroduced in the last 10 with the task of bowling Barton out to gain maximum points.
Some aggressive fields were set, leaving the covers Pretty Vacant and Slaviero & Daldroph picked up a couple more wickets each as we bowled Barton out for 193 with 2 overs to spare. George finishing with figures of 4-30.
As news filtered through of a 2s win as well, Heaven was a Place on Earth and it was called Station Ground. A 40 point weekend had Thors Dancing in the Moonlight until the early hours at iPod shuffle night.
