Petersfield U13s v Waterlooville U13s
Result: Waterlooville CC - Under 13 - Won by 7 wickets
Petersfield bounced back from the Old Netley result with a superb bowling performance but were not able to defend their first innings total
Waterlooville requested to bat first to allow 3 of their players to get to a football tournament !
Petersfield were happy to help the opposition out and Joe Clarke (4) put on 15 for the first wicket before Clarke mistimed a front foot drive to mid off. Will Milner-Smith (31 retired not out) kept the scoreboard ticking along as Waterlooville bowled a number of wides. The next four batsmen hung around but did not score many runs. Without Will Milner-Smith who showed he could play a controlled innings the Petersfield effort would not have troubled the Waterlooville batters but when he was retired in the 16th over after a good partnership with Max Saint (8 not out) the score was 70. Petersfield were tormented by Matthew Johnstone (3 overs - 3 wickets for 21 runs) and Alistair Wilson (2-2-6) and they finished on 78 runs. The coach drilled in to the lads that they had defended a similar total earlier this season.
Joe Clarke (3.2-1-3) opened the bowling and removed Rob Quinn (1) in the 3rd over with the score on 15. At the other end Tom Greene (25) was timing the ball superbly well and he punished anything down the leg side. Tommy Mathews (4-1- 20) removed Tom Seve (7) and he was quickly followed by Greene as he lobbed the ball to Cameron Porteous who took a good catch in the covers. The score was on 37-3 and with the big hitting Greene out Petersfield started to believe they could take a win. Max Saint was bowling tightly (4-1-26) along with Ben Kay (2-0-7) who justified his coaches request to the captain to give the lad a bowl having not bowled the last couple of games. Waterlooville captain Will Doyle (14 not out) and Toby Sambles (27 not out) saw Waterlooville to victory but credit has to go to the Petersfield bowlers and fielders who did not concede any wides in their 15.2 overs bowled.
A good game played on a good pitch on a perfect Sunday morning at the Heath
Man of the Match - Will Milner-Smith
Moment of the match - Cameron Porteous’s straight drive off his first ball faced, straight out of the text book
