TCSRO v Timberscombe 5 June 2010
Timberscombe kept up their unbeaten record despite the efforts of
former player Keith Graddon to spoil their good start to the season.
Timberscombe elected to bat and were making good progress until a mix
up led to the run out of opener Nick Hill. On 86 for 1 all was looking
good for the visitors until the introduction of former Timberscombe and
Minehead bowler Keith Graddon. A combination of poor umpiring, good bowling and poor
shot selection reduced the visitors total to 133 as Graddon took an
impressive 8 for 21.
A frustrated Timberscombe took the field determined to apply early
pressure. It appeared not to be their day as edges found the boundary
and at one point, the ball hit the stumps leaving the bails dislodged,
balancing but not removed. All four bowlers used worked hard. Rob
Golding proved to be the match winner with 5 for 29 from his allotted
overs. Ably supported by Kev Godfrey with 3 for 22. The home side
eventually lost their last wicket 57 runs short of the required total.
