MATCH REPORT

Not ideal conditions going into this game after a day of storms, which eased up into the evening, Clevedon nevertheless decided to made the journey in the hope that a game could be played without interruption accepting it would be sticky underfoot.

Batting first we managed to cope with the slippery conditions as openers Sam Honeywill (8) and Lee Mansfield (42) had by the 11th over compiled our highest first wicket partnership this summer of 59. Lee’s powerful knock included two sixes and set us well on the way to what looked like becoming a three figure final score. However, once these two had departed in the space of the next 2 overs we lost our momentum and although Tom Bond (6no) and Adam Burroughs (4no) added a flourish in the final overs we fell well short on 85-7 as five wickets between S.Brown (3-11) and R.Hogarth (2-4), aided by smart Clevedon outfield catching, thwarted our attempts to get more runs.

Clevedon found runs just as hard to come by as we contained their efforts to get a decent run rate. By the 10th over they were behind the clock at 43-3. Another 2 wickets by 13th over put us in the driving seat, Clevedon on 50-5 (Chapman 17)and needing 5 an over. The turning point came in the 15th over as we conceded 10 runs to give them a critical boost. Although we had produced a steady flow of wickets and had taken another two by the 18th over, Jenny Withers (1-19); Lee Mansfield (2-20); Russ Moore (2-23) and Tom Bond (1-21) plus a run out, it was not enough to prevent Bates (14) and Hogarth (15no) holding their nerve and steering Clevedon home with 3 balls to spare on 86-7.
