Statistical notes:

R.Sutton's figures were the joint best against us in our 30 year 1st XI league history


Byo lost the toss (as usual) and Twyford skipper Neil Hall decided to bat first.

Things got off to a good start for us as Andy Nairn bowled the in-form Mark Fowler for just four in the third over but the second wicket partnership between Derry West (16) and Ian Blakemore added 40 to the total before West was adjudged LBW to Nairny. Blakemore (23) followed him back to the pavilion just seven balls later when he became Nairny's third victim to leave the score on 50-3 after 18.1 overs. The middle order were dismissed relatively cheaply as Simon Curtis (1), Robin Moore (13) and skipper Neil Hall (3) all went within the space of seven overs making the score 80-6 after 30.1 overs. A solid knock of 31 from Ross Sutton combined with steady batting from Andy Brown (10), Mark Wilson (10), Andy Kemp (11*) and Gary Ball (7) took the total up to 141 before Byo bowled Ball with the penultimate delivery of the innings to secure the maximum bowling points. Nairny finished with the excellent figures of 4-43, Huddy took 3-38, Pazza 2-25 and Byo 1-24.

Our run chase got off to a bad start as Boardy was dismissed with the eighth ball of the innings for a duck but Tampa and Wessy then batted steadily to add 24 for the second wicket before Tampa was bowled for 13. Wessy (10) and Ian Nairn (5) shared in a 15 run partnership for the third wicket before they, along with Stiff (0), were dismissed within the space of 13 deliveries to leave the score on a dismal 42-5 after 17.1 overs with Ross Sutton taking all five wickets. Partnerships of 14 between Byo (20) and Huddy (4) and 17 between Byo and Andy Nairn for the sixth and seventh wickets respectively took the score up to 73-7 in the 26th over but things were looking bleak. The eighth wicket partnership won us the game last week and it did its best again this week as 47 runs were added by Andy Nairn (34) and Witho before Nairny was dismissed by the under-rated Gary Ball. The victory equation was therefore down to 22 runs from 9.5 overs with two wickets remaining and after 12 had been added for the ninth wicket by Witho and Buckers the game was within our grasp, however Ross Sutton had other ideas and bowled Witho for 15 and then trapped Pazza LBW for a duck within the space of five balls to end our innings ten runs short of victory on 132.

Sutton ended up with figures of 8-40 which equalled the best bowling against us in our 30 year 1st XI league history. If you put those eight wickets together with the valuable 31 runs scored when batting he should be a serious contender for the coveted Evening Post bat this week.
