Casuals vs Broadwasr On Sunday
Newland Casuals entertained a strong Broadwas team who won the toss and
elected to bat on an excellent batting wicket at North end Lane. Jamie Longmore showed a welcome return to
form with the ball having opener Wyatt well caught by Andy Hoddy in the
covers for nought and then Howes succumbed to the same bowler pulling a ball
to Emily Price at square leg. New
batsman Russ Knight then hit his second ball off Longmore to mid on, but the
chance went down and this proved to be very costly.Opener Birchley played a
delightful innings caressing the ball around the wicket whilst Knight hit the
ball hard to all parts of the ground and used the paddle sweep to great
effect. Birchley passed his century
and then succumbed to young Adam Price with a well taken skier by Jamie
Longmore. Knight fell three short of
his century when he top edged Jamie Plant to Marek Wajzer at backward point
and young Tom Clack picked up a well deserved wicket comprehensively bowling
Porter for eight. Skipper Kyte made a
rapid 24 to take Broadwas to an impressive 292.The Casuals were soon in
trouble when Roy Mayo was bowled in the first over by Wildsmith, but Julian
Hall and Robin Longmore then built a good partnership of 70 before Longmore
was brilliantly caught at cover by Birchley just as he was starting to look
threatening. Hall took his score to
46 before he was bowled by Howse, but only Marek Wajzer troubled the scorer
thereafter running out of partners and left on 15 as the innings capitulated
and Broadwas finished victorious by 186 runs.An excellent tea and a very
sporting atmosphere made for a most enjoyable game despite the large victory
margin and thanks go to match sponsor John Pugh of Three of a Kind
Hairdressers. |
