 Even in the Brewers Cup, the customary first-round exit was no longer a certainty as the club engaged in a series of astonishing battles.The highest scoring of these came in 2001 when the club's highest ever total – 337 all out – was unfortunately 40 short of the Old Bloxhamists' gargantuan effort, and the OLs were unlucky to be defeated twice on the now discredited run rate system, in 2000 and 2004.Then, in 2005, the OLCC was defeated by the old boys of Taunton School, only to then discover after the match that the opposition's No 3 batsman, who made 171 from just 113 balls, had not even attended said institution.
