Petersfield 2s continued their superb season with another win in Regional Division 2 South league.Having lost 5 of the top 6 batsmen to a combination of illness, family issues and call ups to the 1s, Petersfield faced Old Netley and Highfield at the Heath.

Nicky Caddick (2-24) continued his fine form from last week removing N lebourne (1) clean bowled in the 2nd over. Nicky and Oscar Windebank (2-27) bowled very well and in the 9th over Oscar clean bowled Aliash (16).

The opening bowlers were causing issues for the top order of Old Netley reducing them to 36-4 in the 14th over. Most notable of the wickets was Andy Butcher stumping Chris Boon for 10 yards behind the stumps of fast bowler Nicky Caddick!  

Jessie Singh (38) put on 33 for the 5th wicket with Z Ahmed (6) before Chris Wood got his first of 4 wickets as Ahmed was easily caught at mid off by Christie Salmon. Chris Wood then snapped up the next 3 wickets in 5 overs as he reduced Old Netley to 73-7 (including Singh clean bowled). Spin twin Chris Russell (1-31) was getting no luck at the other end until he had skipper Ben Shwartz (9) caught at mid on by Dave Squires low down. Skipper Richard Stephens (1-1) introduced himself and picked up the final wicket in the last over superbly caught at deep midwicket. Old Netley ended on 109

In a change of personnel at the top of the order Dave Squires (24) opened with Chris Wood (1) the pair put on 19 for the first wicket before Chris middled an off drive straight at the fielder who missed the ball but caught it off his body. Squires with Chris Russell (66 not out) kept the pressure on the Old Netley bowlers and fielders with some quick singles and punishing anything wayward with some nice shots for 4.

The pair put on 50 for the 2nd wicket before Squires misjudged a full toss to be clean bowled in the 16th over. Omar Iqbal (16 not out) joined Chris at the wicket and the pair took Field home in the 27th over with Chris Russell hitting the winning runs. Field picked up maximum points (24) to keep them at least in 2nd place with other results not in yet.
