Cricketers caught out
Daylight saving caught out a number of Ellesmere junior cricket representatives on Sunday. Because the clocks had been put back an hour, Ellesmere was to have played Peninsula at 10 a.m. instead of the usual start time of 10.30 a.m.
However, the message was not conveyed clearly for only four Ellesmere players arrived on time and the team had to bat first. The team of four was dismissed for three (all runs came from extras) and, needless to say, Peninsula gained a first-innings lead. Peninsula was unable to force an outright decision as Ellesmere had a full muster for the second innings.
