The hottest day of the year saw SN win the toss & bat against a youthful DCA side on Saturday 5th May. An excellent 1st slip catch by Davies saw Simon Birtwisle depart for 20 at 27-1 in the 6th. At 97 Peyton (36) was lbw to Ahmed & attacking, Graham (38) caught at mid wicket for 38 at 105-3 in the 25th.

 

Trevaskis & Cragg moved the score to 182 in the 38th when Davies held a hard hit boundary catch from Trevaskis (40) & Cragg followed lbw to Davies for 40 one over later. A nice partnership of 53 between Tindale (39) & Sam Dale(13) ended in consecutive balls in the 50th over at 235-7. Stanyon (12) & Doig (9*) attacked to take the score to 258 before losing two wickets in the 53rd at the declaration. 7 bowlers used, Ahmed 3-66, Davies 2-27 & a wicket each fro Dass, Bell & Gibson.

 

DCA started confidently but at 35 in the 6th, Ryan Davies was well held at 1st slip by Birtwisle driving at Tindale, an important wicket. Sol Bell (5) was bowled by Tindale at 53, Harry Adair(14) chipped to mid wicket off Crozier & captain Ross Greenwell (34) was stumped by Peyton off Trevaskis to leave DCA at 76-4 off 17.

 

The spinners wheeled away on a flat surface. Jamie Dass may have been unlucky to be run out for 12, 100-5, & at 128 in the 37th, Matthew Oswell was lbw to Stanyon for 24 off 55 balls. Luke Doneathy was joined by w/k Tom McIntosh who after striking Wightman for consecutive boundaries was bowled by Tindale for 10, 142-7, 42nd.

 

Doneathy (17* off 87b) & Adam Ahmed (16* off 56b)  dug in skilfully. No further wickets fell, 9 consecutive maidens from Trevaskis & Crozier, three men round the bat, ended the innings at 167-7 after 57. 14 points to SN, 9 to DCA.
