The U16s achieved their first indoor win against Waterlooville. Batting first, Alex Thomas (17)and Matt Crouch (29no) put on a solid opening partnership which built the foundation of 136-3. Accurate bowling then kept the Waterlooville reply under control and they were forced to make some suicididal runs and fell short of the Petersfield total by 48 runs. Aron Murray and Nicky Caddick took the took wickets which were not run outs. Both were superb catches, one by Jordan Hiscock and one by Nicky Caddick. Notably only 7 wides were bowled.
The seniors lost their first game of the indoor season to Portsmouth B. Too many wides and no balls gave Portsmouth an opportunity and despite some great batting from Christie Salmon (46) and Matt Salmon (27) they fell short by 13 runs. They had looked to have snatched victory when a hard straight drive was deflected by the bowler onto the stumps to run out Matt.
