Winning the toss and batting first on another warm day, ‘Field openers Damian Carson (25) and Broadhurst (24) started carefully on a wicket where scoring was sometimes difficult. Several batsmen got starts but no one managed to go on and make a major score against an attack in which Andy Gorty took 5 wickets.
Chasing Petersfield’s total of 190, C&CF accumulated steadily. Gumbe (2 for 43) and Stanley (1 for 24) again bowled well but despite Dom Carson’s two neat slip catches, and Broadhurst and Gumbe combing well to run out Rathod, ‘Field’s opponents overhauled their score in the 43rd over without too many alarms along the way.
After a match with plenty of talking points and where nine batsmen across the two sides scored twenties yet the highest score was C&CF opener Neethling’s 31, Petersfield will look to return to winning ways next Saturday, at home to Old Netley & Highfield.
