Petersfield U16s vs Waterlooville

Petersfield U16s vs Waterlooville

 

Petersfield lost by 61 runs

 

The 16s lost the match but there were plenty of positives to be drawn from this encouraging performance – chiefly the bowling and fielding, which were good throughout.

 

Bowling first, Petersfield did well to restrict a strong Waterlooville side to 125 off their 12 overs. Ben Turk bowled with great accuracy (17 runs off 3 overs), Gabriel Broadhurst picked up the wicket of opener Reynolds for 9 and Alex Squires was the other wicket taker, removing Knight for 7.

 

There were sharp catches held by Straw and Broadhurst, but the Waterlooville middle order batted steadily if not spectacularly to push the total past the 100-mark.

 

In reply, ‘Field lost opener Thomas early for 7, caught behind off district opening bowler Robbins, which triggered a bout of run-out mayhem, with 3 wickets falling in quick succession.  Broadhurst (25) and Straw (11) fought gallantly for the last wicket, before young Gabriel was last out to a miraculous catch on the back wall (that man Robbins again).

 

Shot selection and running between the wickets remain the areas to work on for this young team, who are gaining experience all the time in this frantic, fast-paced form of the game.

Great start to Indoor league season

Petersfield U16s vs Sarisbury

Petersfield win by 23 runs

The U16s got their indoor season off to a flying start with a comprehensive win over Sarisbury.

Losing the toss and asked to bat first, openers Alex Thomas (30) and Gabriel Broadhurst (47) picked up where they left off in the summer, with some well placed shots and incisive running setting the foundations for a big total.

In his first match for the U16 indoor side, Ben Turk contributed some useful runs (18) and, with the help of 35 extras, Petersfield’s total of 141 looked more than useful.

And so it proved, with Sarisbury always behind the required rate thanks to some tight bowling from Gabe Broadhurst and Ben Turk, who accounted for the dangerous opener Bradding for 14. Rob Straw was the pick of the bowlers with excellent figures of 1 for 18 off 3.

The bowlers were well backed by a solid fielding effort from all six players. As well as two run-outs, Broadhurst took a good catch and Straw hurled himself around to great effect protecting the back wall.

For the first match of the season – and with no training – this was a splendid effort by the u16s. Things to work on next time would include hitting the ball with soft hands into the gaps and watching those leg-side wides, but nothing should detract from a terrific display by a young side first time out. Well done lads!

Petersfield vs Portsmouth Priory

Petersfield win by 32 runs

The senior side then made it two out of two with an ultimately comfortable victory over the teachers of Portsmouth Priory. Petersfield's innings owed a lot to Shaun Blanks (31), skipper Will Rice (18) and, especially, a fighting 25 n.o. from Rory Newman when runs were really needed at the end, but a total of 111 looked perhaps a little light.

Maybe because of that, 'Field's attack tore into their opponents, who had no answer to Blanks (2 for 10), Charles and Rice, who each picked up a wicket. Newman finished things off in style with 2 for 10 and took an outstanding reflex catch at square leg. Austin, Rice and Charles also clung on to some sharp chances and Thomas completed a rapid stumping off Rice.

So it was Petersfield who deservedly finished top of the class with six gold stars, with Priory facing detention and a school report saying 'must try harder'....

All in all, a fantastic start to the indoor season by both Petersfield sides.

Petersfield Sunday XI v Hambeldon Sunday XI

The last day of the season is always a sad time in any cricket clubs calendar,but this turned out to be doubly sad as Petersfield lost dramatically to Hambledon on a warmer than usual day at Hambledon Cricket Club.

Petersfield's captain Marcus Sampson changed his call on the coin toss (having not lost a toss all season) and Petersfield were asked to field. With Richard Stephens (0-20 off 6 overs) and Billy Maisey (0-11 off 4) keeping a very tight strangle hold on the Hambledon openers, they forced them into 1 risky single too many when Oscar Windebank and Richard Stephens combined to run out Champman (5) to give Petersfield the breakthrough their bowling deserved. Petersfield kept it very tight for the next 15 overs or so with Mark (the grey bear) Holloway (0-20 off 5) very unlucky not to pick up Mcgrath (57) with some lovely deliveries which somehow missed the stumps. He was superbly aided in his endeavors by Oscar Windebank (3-9 off 7) who had the Hambledon upper middle order in complete disarray with a spell worthy of any game of cricket which included a double wicket maiden. Hambledon recovered and took advantage of some tired bowling from Petersfield's medium pacers before Chris Russell (3-19 off 3) gained a measure of control back in to proceedings. Hambledon ended on 191-9 after some lusty blows in the last over spoiling Chris's figures somewhat.

Petersfield's reply started well with James Stratford Tuke (4) and John Mcguire (77) putting on 48 before James got an accurate ball which bounced about 2 inches off the ground before taking middle stump out. John and number 3 Billy Maisey (21) then took the score along nicely up to drinks with John bringing up his 50 with a glorious punch through the covers for 4. At drinks John decided that he could not continue as his knee and calf were playing up and so he retired hurt. This unfortunately brought about a  the demise of Gabriel Broadhurst first ball, Richard Stephens 2nd ball, Mark Holloway 1st ball, Dave Squires 2nd Ball, Simon Dodd 1st ball and Oscar Windebank 1st ball to give 1 hatrick to S Le Clerq (5-11 off 6) and M Le Clerq (1-9 off 1.3) some remarkable bowling figures. This was a batting collapse of mighty proportions and only Billy Maisey, Chris Russell (14), Marcus Sampson (11 not out) and the returning John McGuire getting bat on ball. This collapse left Petersfield all out for 153.

Petersfield were left in a state of shock having seemingly had the game comfortably in control at around 20 overs. So the season ends on a low note but as ever the Sunday Xi was good fun with some superb banter within the team and with the opposition. It has been a difficult season with the weather but a reasonable season was had and Marcus was very happy with how things went although a few games got away from us.

The author’s man of the match (do not forget to vote on Teamer.net) was John McGuire's 77 which lit up an otherwise disappointing day. Special mention for Oscar Windebank who showed when on form he is one of the most effective bowlers at the club.

Comedy moment of the day goes to Dave Squires who bowled a ball, fell over, pitched about 5 yards in front of his sprawled body and still managed to get the ball down the other end for a dot ball (one of the few balls he managed to get straight all day)

Already looking forward to next season

Fun Day report.

Well on a quite magnificent morning Petersfield cricket club opened its doors to the parents of the colts cricketers to show the boys and girls that their talent was inherited from their parents.

The day started off with a lot of work by the volunteers and parents to get the ground and pavilion ready for the up coming Fun day. Special thanks to Andy and Dee Salmon, Mark Friend and all the ladies who cleaned, cooked and served drinks to make the day complete.

The first game to get going was the under 7s who despite having the best part of 25 colts on the books only had 10 lads and dads. This did not diminish the competitive nature of the game as a mixed dads’ and lads’ game. A big shout went up in the first over as one son bowled a beauty to his dad which 'swung miles' according to his dad and took the outside edge. The game then took an unexpected turn as a test match attitude arrived for a 20x20 game and they finished the game a few hours later than expected. There was a winner with the team of dads and lads who batted first winning but in the end cricket was the winner for the under 7s

The under 9's game was a proper dads v lads game with big shots bring played by the dads as they batted first. This only increased the intensity of the pairs match with the dads losing in the penultimate ball of the match with mutterings that the umpire/coach was a tad biased. This was flatly denied by under 9 coach James Stratford-Tuke

The girls beat the parents for the 3 rd straight year without the help of the usual close finish. The Parents batting 1 st scored 46 for the loss 8 wickets in their 12 overs with the last pair of Anscombe’s managing to lose 5 wickets in 3 overs. In reply the girls posted an easy 80 for the loss of only 1 wicket with each pair contributing to the total. To remove any doubt the girls also won the boundary count 11 to 6 as well. Many thanks to all who took part.

The under 11 game was a 6 a side event with a lot of the under 11s having football and the paralympics stopping them from turning out. Despite a lack of numbers the 2 games played were played in great spirit with the games ending one a piece as the dads ran out of steam in the 2nd game. Some hard yards will be needed to be done over the winter by the dads if both games are not to be lost next September!

The intensity of the day was starting to build as the under 13s and under 15s combined to take on a team of dads/coaches. A couple of dads have bragging rights for the next year removing their sons. Most notably Phil Richards and under 15 coach Dave Squires both bowling the lads all ends up. The lads needed a solid start and they got it with Alex Thomas showing the form that got him the under 15 batting award with a fluent 30 not out. The lads posted a competitive 116 in their 20 overs with all the batsmen contributing during the 20 overs.

With the dads still confident, Phil Richards then had the 3rd XI captain taking note as he played some lovely shots retiring on 30 not out off 20 balls. This set up the victory for the dads with some big hitting for another of the coaches, Matt Salmon, gained revenge on young Ben Turk who had taken a liking to Matt's bowling in his well constructed 34 not out in the lads innings.

The final game of the day was between the under 17 lads v a senior select XI consisting of Saturday captains and coaches. With the under 17s batting opening with their opening bowler, it seemed the lads were not taking the game seriously. Despite losing his partner in the second over, young Nicky Caddick scored quickly before being run out attempting a quick single to Dave Squires and was well short as with only one stump to aim at, the under 15 coach proved that he could play the game as well as coach!

Despite a flurry of 3 wickets following this, including a run out of equal ability to the earlier one from the under 13 coach Paddy May. The lads introduced their over age player Matt Salmon who turned the innings completely with 40 off 13 balls showing his earlier innings for the under 15s coaches was no fluke. The lads scored 135 off their 20 overs. The seniors were still confident as they took on the task of chasing the total down. They had not counted on losing 4 wickets to run outs and some generous umpiring of wides from the umpires Richard Thomas and Dave Cox. Despite some late hitting from John McGuire and Jack Hannam, the seniors fell short by 14 runs amid cries of fowl play as Matt (over age) Salmon bowled a tight final couple of overs to cap a fine all round performance from the 19 year old.

All in all the day was yet again a success and a testament to the talent of the colts and coaching staff at the club, which compliment the 3 Saturday sides perfectly.

The previous night the Colts presentation evening was held at Petersfield Rugby Club with all the age groups represented. Special mention goes to the Under 9b team who won their SEHCA B East league and the Under 13 team who managed the same feat in the SEHCA B East League. Three young coaches Benjamin Friend, Rory Newman and Nicky Caddick also got a special mention for all their work and support to the Under 7s, under 9s, under 11s and under 13 team coaches and managers. This was emphasized by Nicky getting more than one vote in the players player of the year for the under 9s.

Again this proves that the colts in the club have talent and are also willing to give back to the younger colts. The club continues to move forward at pace.

Petersfield Sunday XI v Langstone CC

With the whole team but the captain expecting the game to be called off on a damp and overcast day both teams were plesently surprised to get a game played. Marcus Sampson won the toss again for Petersfield (I believe he has not lost a toss all season). The captain decided to bat first on a damp pitch.

With the bowlers and umpires carrying cloths (to dry the ball) the innings got off to a slow start with Jack Hannam (4) falling early to a great catch by Petersfield's Ben Friend (guesting for the Langsatone CC team), this was greeted with annoyance by Jack as he was trying to get the runs to cement his place at the top of the batting stats with only 2 games before the awards evening left. Will Rice (39) then came in and with Andy Salmon (71) put on 50 for the 2nd wicket (Will's score closing the gap on Jack) before he got a leading edge when trying to turn the ball to the legside off of Rory Newman (1-29 off 7), another Petersfield player guesting for Langstone CC. Chris Russell (30) then came in and he and Andy put on a quickfire 62 in 9 overs for the 3rd wicket putting the pressure on Langstone and their guest fielders. Before Ben Friend threw the ball in from Midoff to run out Russell on a very close decision by the newly qualified league umpire.

Petersfield were playing good cricket around Andy Salmon with Cameron Clarke (28) and Henry Austin (23) hitting some big shots to push the score beyond 200 before 3 wickets fell in quick succession leaving Petersfield on a healthy 216-9 at the end of their 40 overs.

The coverted award for the best tea of the season is going to be really close at the presentation evening (over to you skip)

Petersfield took to the field and kept a very tight reign on the scoring with the first 10 overs only going for 20 runs before Simon Dodd (1-42) had the opener plumb LBW not that the opener agreed with the umpire. Ben Friend (77) came out out to join the other opener Walmsley (25) to put on 40 for the 2nd wicket before he was run out brilliantly from wide midon,with only 1 1/2 stumps to aim at Dave Squires hitting the top off the leg stump leaving Langstone CC 59-2.

Rory Newman (33) then came out to join his young compadre Friend to push the score along to 129 with the pair hitting some lusty blows to get Langstone back into the game and up with the required rate. Will Rice (1-28) then removed Newman when he tried to cut Rice over gully. Brydon (21) then came in and supported Friend very well putting on another 40 before Brydon was clean bowled by Cameron Clarke (2-6 off 2 overs) with a beautifully disguised slower ball. Chris Russell (1-39) then got the wicket his bowling deserved before Clarke removed Ben Friend with a perfect yorker with the light going rapidly. Dave Squires (1-7) then got the final wicket before the game ended in very dark conditions with the scoreboard providing more light than the sun to complete a comfortable victory for Petersfield.

MOM for Petersfield - Andy Salmon for his well constructed 71
MOM for Langstone (sorry Petersfield) Ben Friend for a lovely 77
Magic Moment for Petersfield - Dave Squires's run out
Magic Moments for Langstone - Ben Friend's catch and Run Outs

Another good game of Sunday cricket played in the right spirit even if there were mumblings of traitor in the pavillion afterwards ;-)

Do not forget the Fun day Saturday and the final home game before the presentation night on Sunday at hom to Grayshott
