On a hot sunny day at Chipping Sodbury, Blagdon won the toss and decided to field. The decision proved to be a bad one as the Chipping openers got off to a flying start scoring 54 from the first 11 overs. However, following a change of ends from the opening bowlers, 2 quick wickets fell and Sodbury were 58 for 2.

At this point, Craig Scully joined Steve Clapp and they batted sensibly to take their team to a strong position before Scully was stumped by Richard Hughes from Paul Hudds bowling. More wickets fell quickly to slow the scoring rate, but with Clapp still at the crease, a score in excess of 200 always looked likely. Poor fielding didn’t help the Blagdon cause and when the 45 overs came to an end, Chipping Sodbury had made a solid 211 for 7.

After a cracking tea, The Blagdon openers went out to bat in a positive frame of mind, but after 5 overs, the confidence had been knocked out of them as they slumped to 13 for 3. Even this long batting line up couldn’t cope with the pace of John Toghill and the excellent catching and fielding of the Chipping Sodbury team. More wickets fell in quick succession, and at 40 for 6, the game was all but over. A brief flurry of boundaries from Simon Byas allowed Blagdon to reach 100 and even James Butcher who was injured whilst bowling, managed to have a bat before the final curtain fell on this timid performance.

This result knocks Blagdon off the top of the Senior Division.
