Timberscombe came out on top in this hard fought 18 over cup final
played at Dulverton Sunday.
Asked to bat, Timberscombe kept up a brisk pace to their innings
throughout. Tom Sparks and Nick Hill got the innings off to a good
start, with Hill going on to play the major innings of the total. He
was finally out for 46. All the Timberscombe batsmen contributed to the
final score of 134 for 5.Acland was the pick of the bowlers with 2
wickets from his 5 overs.
Fitzhead set off in pursuit of the target with some vigour. R
Bellringer putting bat to ball with some effect got them off to a
flier. When he was out for 32 in the sixth over they were well placed
on 48 for 2. The introduction of bowler Nick Virgin changed the game. A
wicket with his first ball and a further 5 wickets over the remainder
of his 4 overs swept Timberscombe to victory. When Kev Godfrey took his
second, and the final Fitzhead wicket the score was on 98, some 36 runs
short.
