Stoke St Mary v Timberscombe 24 July 2010
Winning the toss Stoke elected to bat and soon found runs hard to come
by. On a hard wicket and fast outfield dot balls and occasional fours
were all that was on offer. Opening bowlers Rob Golding and Will
Giblett kept a tight rein on the scoring. Wickets fell steadily with
only D Packer achieving runs with any freedom. Golding and spinner
Nick Virgin were the bowlers to do the damage. Golding ended with 5 for
17 and Virgin 4 for 20. Geoff Dibble took the other wicket. The Stoke
innings came to an end in the 35th over on 108.
Timberscombe set about the chase in positive manner. Nick Hill (34)
with some hard hitting, and stalwart Bruce Lang (22) with touch and
guile, made light work of putting the visitors in a match winning
position. A late flurry from Kev Godfrey, with 17 of 9 balls faced
finished off the job.
