Low scoring matches dominate the weekend
All three Saurday teams were involved in low scoring matches with the 2s and 3s coming out on top.
The 1s were away to Street End and were put into bat
The team started well reaching 55 for 1 but with the removal of Owen Harrison (18) and James Weller (23) the team slumped to 76 for 5. James Sutton’s 30 helped the team reach 135 before they were bowled all out at the end of the 43rd over.
Ricky Dale (1 for 22) picked up an early wicket supported well by Tyler Wassell (0 for 11) and with wickets from Owen Harrison (1 for 24) and Tom Carey (2 for 25) the team looked like they had an outside chance as the home team found themselves 64 for 4. Despite the teams efforts no more wickets fell and Street End crossed the line in the 26th over.
The 2s were home to Borstal and were put into the field. Ethan Collier (3 for 25) and Adam Rayner (2 for 18) got the team off to a great start removing the two openers without either of them scoring a run with further wickets falling shortly afterwards. Henry Louden (5 overs 0 for 10) and Lee Cogger (7 overs 0 for 17) kept the pressure on and Danish Zia (2 for 17) and Archie Covey (1 for 6) mopping up the visitors were all out 102 in the 36th over.
Paul Surridge (37) and Rob Kennett (15) got the team off to a perfect start and Ben Fulton (36 no) and Will Surridge (8 no) finished off as the team reached the target in the 18th over just two wickets down.
The 3s travelled to New Ash Green and were put into the field. Phil Danbury (2 for 5) and Simon Rose (2 for 16) had the home team 3 for 10. Emily Surridge (1 for 3) quickly removed the remaining opener and Yawar Hanif’s brace saw New Ash Green fall to 36 for 6. The home team’s lower order rallied until Jay Sharma broke the stand through a fine stumping by Will Roe and Will picked up the last wicket with a catch behind as Phil returned for his second spell as New Ash Green were bowled out for 106 at the start of the 30th over.
Chris Wood (17) and Simon Rose (36) got the team off to a good start with a 51 run opening partnership. Tony Hadfield (25) added to the score and with only 10 runs needed and 8 wickets left it look a comfortable win. However 5 wickets fell before Jay Sharma and William Roe got the team over the line in the 31st over.
