Petersfield senior indoor team played some great cricket to come out comfortable winners against league leaders and previuosly unbeaten Emsworth. PUt into bat and after losing an early wicket, Will Rice (19) and Jack Hannam (21) built steadily but some good bowling from Emsworth was not going to allow Petersfield any easy runs. All the batsmen had to work hard and play for the gaps. Chris and Matt Salmon continued the good work and with big hits from Liam Charles at the end Petersfield reached 99-4.
To win they would need to bowl Emsworth out. All the bowlers gave nothing away and gradually built the pressure up. Shaun Blanks bowled a great opening spell of 3-12 off his 3 overs and he was well supported by Chris Salmon and skipper Hannam. Will Rice maintained the pressure and bagged 2 wickets and Liam Charles finished it off with a great catch from the diving Matt Salmon.
Petersfield move into 2nd place in the league and must win their last 2 matches to give themselves a chance of promotion. Next match is against Bedhampton C on 13th February.
