Petersfield Sunday XI match reports
After gaining their first win of the Friendly season having beaten Liss the Sunday side have suffered 2 defeats on the trot losing to Emswoth last weekend after bowling the guests out for 106. Yesterday the Sunday XI lost to Hayling Island by 70 runs.
The Emsworth game did not get off to the greatest of starts with both sides reduced to 9 men by injury and unforeseen circumstances. Haque (34) batted very well as Hayling were asked to bat first. He was the only one to score heavily as Petersfields bowlers bowled very very well with every single one of them picking up a wicket with Ed Davenport picking up 2.
There was a notable first for the club as Helen Whitaker became the first lady to play for the Sunday side. Helen bowled very well and took 1 wicket for 5 runs off her 3 overs and created another first obviously.
The Petersfield innings got off to a now familiar bad start as they lost 3 wickets for 22 runs off of 6 overs. Ben Anscombe (40) was batting very well and was looking comfortable and with Ben Turk (16) they rebuilt the innings innings before Ben was out LBW to G WIld (4 overs 4 wickets for 8 runs). When Ben got himself out stumped going down the wicket to G Dunn (1.2-1-7) the innings was over and Petersfield were 30 runs short of their target.
Man of the Match - Ben Anscombe for his runs, wicket and catch
Moment of the Match - Helen picking up her first wicket with a lovely delivery.
Moving on to this Sunday
A slightly less eventful run up to the match than the previous week led to the game being switched to another ground due to waterlogging at The Heath.
Captain Squires won the toss again (4 out of 5) and asked Hayling to bat to get the most out of the new ball.
Ed Davenport (8 overs 2 wickets 35 runs) and LIam Charles (5.5-3-9) opened the bowling and Charles picked up the first wicket of A Johnson well caught by Dan May at midoff. Davenport then picked up J Oram (3) clean bowled. Young J Steele came out and played a lovely late cut down to 3rd man but decided to run 2 and was a good yard short as Rich Stephens threw the ball in over the stumps, Squires doing the rest. Another run out then stopped K Dyke (9) long batting innings as he played a cover drive to Rob Allerston who winged the ball in over the stumps the only issue with the throw was it was 4 ft above the stumps, Keeper Squires managed to get a glove to it and in one movement threw down the stumps directly below him. Poor old Dyke thought he was safe when he saw the throw but alas it was not to be.
D Garvin (31) and M Hallett (59) then took a liking to the Petersfield bowling punishing John Childs in particular on his debut for the Sundayt XI. The pair put on 78 runs for the 5th wicket as Petersfield toiled in the field. Charles and Davenport returned to pick up the 2 batsmen and the score reached 201 with 44 wides and 7 no balls !
A very nice tea provided by Pat Hannam following the 1s game being called off the previous day. If that is the standard of the tea in the 1s no wonder they want to play that level !
Bob Wemyss (0) and Dave Squires (24) opened the batting but Bob followed a rising delivery and it took an edge to be well caught at first slip. Rich Stephens (11) then joined Squires and was looking very comfortable until he called Squires through for a single. As they passed RIch shout oh no and was just short of his ground as the ball winged in from short fine leg to hit the stumps. Rob Allerston (0) then got a ball which jagged back to leave Petersfield 17-3. Squires (normally a number 8 bat) had dug in to try and anchor the inning and allow others to play around him. Charles (29) came out and came out and looked comfortable until he mistimed a back cut to be caught at point. Thanks to his contribution the score had moved along to 65. Ben Kirby (5) then came and went although played a lovely shot over mid wicket for 4.
John Childs (9) joined Squires and they took the score along to 107 before he was trapped LBW by young Ben Loghurst (8-2-29). This then caused a collapse as Ben’s father John Longhurst (5-3-13) ended Squires innings trapping him LBW, Mark Holloway (0) got a first baller before Nick Woodruff (12) and then Dan May (4) took the score to 128.
Man of the Match - Liam Charles for his all round display even after taking a blow to his elbow
Moment of the Match - Squires’s run out of Dyke (how did he do that)
