Southwell CC Weekend 17th-18th July round up 07/20/2010
The weekend saw the first team overcome Gedling and Sherwood in a low scoring game. steve Wright was the start performer with a career best 8-22. Southwell wobbled as they chased a modest total of 98 for victory, but passed their target for the loss of seven wickets, securing a much needed 20 points in the process. The 2nd XI had their fixture against Newark rained off for the second time this season. With Newark sitting rock bottom of the table, Will Powell's team can count themselves somewhat unlucky. The Sunday first coasted to victory after bowling Long Eaton out for 138 (Ali Haynes 4-34). Jonno (64*) and Grant (30) contributed the runs as the total was reached for the loss of 2 wickets. The development side lost a high scoring game against a strong Kegworth side. Zac Ashworth again bowled with great control picking up 4 wkts as the hosts set Southwell a total of 226 to win. Butler (35) batted superbly and put on 100 for the first wicket with Scott (82). However, wickets fell frequently and we were left 9 runs short with Stutchbury and Butler at the crease, after 40 overs. Add Comment |
