Over Stowey v Timberscombe 30 August 2010
The winner takes all, top versus second clash on Bank Holiday Monday
ended as a one sided affair as Timberscombe confirmed top spot.
Stowey chose to bat on a good looking wicket but, after an initial
flurry of runs, found the going tough. Early tight spells from Gary
Archer and Rob Golding had the home side pinned down. Scoring shots
were few and far between. The introduction of Steve Archer and Kev
Godfrey continued the tight rein. Wickets fell at regular intervals as
batsmen became increasingly frustrated. Steve archer took full
advantage ending with figures of 7 for 24 as the innings was ended on
99.
Early quick runs in reply put the home side under pressure. Despite
the loss of two wickets in the forties, Paul Sparks 24 (no) and Kev
Godfrey 28 (no) were able to see the visitors home comfortably in the
24th over. Phil Rich took the two wickets to fall, but at the cost of
45 runs.
