Timberscombe v South Park Manor 26 April 2010
Timberscombe had a successful start to the season as the defeated Surrey
tourists South Park Manor by 87 runs in a thirty over a side friendly at
Minehead CC on Sunday.
  After winning the toss on a damp track Timberscombe batted first, with
  opener Joe Shooter scoring a quickfire 27 before being caught in the
  deep. This brought Jason Abbott to the crease, and after a painful blow
  early on he proceeded to smash the ball around in partnership with first
  Paul Sparks then Paul Keal as the total began to mount up. Abbott
  finally retired on 101 with 12 fours and 6 sixes, having been
  particularly severe square of the wicket. After a late flurry of
  wickets the home innings closed on 224 for 8.
  In reply SPM began brightly, aided and abetted by some typical early
  season fielding as catches were dropped on several occasions, with Keal
  being particularly unfortunate. It was not until the seventeenth over
  that a wicket fell as Kevin Godfrey bowled Hammersmith senior for 37.
  Ian Buchanan, who had regularly beaten the bat, then had Vince caught on
  the boundary by Will Giblett, and Godfrey struck again in his next over
  to reduce the visitors to 91 for 3. A fine catch in the slips from
  Buchanan gave skipper Matt Bowden a wicket, before Giblett bowled
  Hammersmith junior in the final over as SPM fell well short on 137 for
  5, with Smith carrying his bat for 51 not out.
  TCC: 214-8 (Abbott 101 ret, Keal 30, Shooter 27, Sparks 25)
  South Park Manor: 137-5 (Smith 51*, Hammersmith snr 37)
