๐ขโซ๏ธ GAME WEEK 16 RESULTS โซ๏ธ๐ข
Congratulations to Ollie Thornhill on an extraordinary achievement, smashing the Chepstow Cricket Club record for the highest individual score and becoming the first player in club history to score a double century with an incredible 233*. What a knock! ๐
Three senior games, Colts cricket, and plenty more to celebrate. Hereโs how Week 16 played outโฆ
๐ 1st XI vs Pentyrch
Fresh from their win over Maesteg, the 1s travelled to Pentyrch looking for another crucial result.
Batting first on a scorching day, Scott Bailey (46) and Bruno Chitnis (34) put on 86 for the first wicket. AJ added 32 before James Hall blasted a quickfire 35 and Fil Chitnis finished unbeaten on 20*, taking Chepstow to 235-6.
Pentyrch started strongly, reaching 100 without loss, but Tregaskes once again led the fightback with an excellent 3-wicket spell. Bruno Chitnis also produced a run out as the hosts slipped to 153-4.
Despite further wickets from Bruno and Hall, Pentyrch held their nerve to chase it down with four wickets remaining.
A tough one to take, but 8 potentially valuable points in the fight for survival.
๐ 2nd XI vs Ponthir
The 2s welcomed Ponthir to Mathern Road looking to avenge the 10-wicket defeat in the reverse fixture.
Archer fell early, but Harris (34) and Tuhin (49) rebuilt before Jason Dobbie produced a fluent 50, anchoring the innings. A late 26 from Eddie Hillman lifted Chepstow to 208-8 from 45 overs.
Ponthir made a strong start with a 70-run opening stand before Eddie broke through. Dobbie then applied the pressure with another miserly spell, but wickets proved hard to come by.
Shaveen and Finn Hillman both struck late, with Finn claiming his first 2nd XI wicket on his debut alongside his brother Eddie.
Unfortunately, Ponthir held their nerve and reached the target with just two balls remaining.
A brilliant contest for the neutral and a seriously close one for the 2s.
๐ 3rd XI vs Vale ๐คฏ
Wellโฆ where do we even start?
A picturesque village green, small boundaries and Ollie Thornhill clearly deciding he wasnโt going home until heโd hit everything.
233.*
OT smashed the club record for the highest individual score in a Chepstow shirt and, in doing so, became the first player in the clubโs history to score a double century.
Alun Jones provided superb support with 82, while Jack Ward joined the party with a rapid 29*.
Chepstow finished on an absurd 364-1 from 40 overs.
With Vale needing to attack, wickets followed. Ben Tate claimed 3, Charlie Harkins added 2 and Paul Phillips chipped in with one as Vale were eventually dismissed for 210 inside 31 overs.
A huge 154-run victory and, even more importantly, the 3s are now just one win away from promotion. ๐
๐ Colts | Under 15s vs Newport
The Under 15s got the weekend started on Friday.
Batting first, Finn Hillman led the way with 44 as Chepstow posted 141-6 from their 20 overs.
The bowlers then delivered, with Raahi taking 2 wickets and Miles, Max, Elliot and Ted all getting among them. Excellent fielding helped restrict Newport to 107-7.
A strong all-round performance and another win for the Colts. ๐
