Bashley
U12s kept up their winning run with victory over Hamworthy in their latest
indoor fixture without quite hitting the heights of recent performances.
Batting first for the fifth consecutive match Sam Presland (37 no) and Jack
Harris (16) got the boys off to a solid start until Presland retired and Harris
fell to a good delivery. The county duo of Daniel Bailey and Joshua Royan
looked to pick up the pace but Royan (12) was unfortunate to be run out before
Bailey drove his way to a retirement. Unselfish late order contributions from
Scott Menary (5) and Toby Mills (9) before a late flurry at the death from
retirees Presland and Bailey enabled Bashley to reach a respectable 163-4.
After
the changeover Joshua Royan struck immediately but in the early going Bashley
were just a touch off with the ball and Hamworthy road their luck with multiple
edges not going to hand and sharp chances put down. But just as its
seemed a tight conclusion might be on the cards Bashley found their form and
tight bowling from Bailey was backed up with renewed standards in the field
with a slew of wickets including 2 quick thinking runouts, a stumping from
Harris and a fine catch from Royan reducing to Hamworthy to 116 all out.
So
with one game remaining Bashley look set to go into Finals day seeded no.1 with
an unassailable points total. So well done to the boys and we will look to
finish the regular season undefeated with our final group match against
Bournemouth Eagles on March 13th.
