League leaders Monkswood resorted to well documented dubious tactics to avoid defeat against Rogerstone in May. Today at The Welfare a snapped achilles tendon from a fielder halted Rogerstone in their tracks when they were 69 for 1 from 15 overs chasing 184 to win.
Jobi Matthew took 3 wickets in an over and Lewis McLoughlin a belting swollen eye in Monkswood's innings. Jiffin and Owen were well set when the game was halted.
Monkswood really have mastered the art of avoiding defeat.
