What a day double win!
The 1s batting first, A bit of bad start, but the innings settled down when Stu wainwright (36) joined Martyn Hovey (55) at the crease when we were 3 down putting on a 79 partnership. There was plenty of runs in the last few overs mainly from Jag Bhist 28 off 18 balls. We ended up 219 for 8.
Bowling the wickets tumbled and the ecomony was very good, it took a while to get the 10th wicket but we got them all out in the end. Bishops Waltham all out for 117, a big win. Harry Robbins 3 wickets, Lee Gray and James c***s 2 each.
The 2s faced Fareham away, bowling first they went at a decent run rate but lost 3 earlyish wickets all from Tom Coombs (3 for 18), They rebuilt a bit, but then collapsed from 112 for 5 to 122 all out in 33.2 overs. Jethro got 3 wickets in 3 overs, Steve Andrews got 2 in his 5.2. Catches win Matches and we took 7, Max Cummings with 3 and 2 behind the stumps for Ian Rogers plus 1 each for Dan Hood and Jake Rose.
Batting, they bowled very well, it was not easy, but we inched along, and made use of the overs they did not bat, we had a bit of collapse ourselves but got over the line with 15 balls to go, 6 wickets down, star of the show was Gary Hounsome with 43 not out, Max cummings 20 stayed in for long time and saw off some good bowling. A great run chase.
A fantastic day 23 points both teams, followed by Lee Gray's quiz night in the bar,
The 1s, are top of the league with a decent margin above 2nd place.
The 2s go up 1 place from 5th to 4th.
