Quad stops play in Ray Jennett memorial match

Hinton began with experienced players, at least one of whom had 1st team experience. Brannigan was back to his fiery best after looking tired the previous day and was troubling both batsmen without luck. Hughes had elected to go with the out-of-form Forster at the other end, who confessed to have only lost line, length and rhythm, but was relieved to see Willis hold a good catch, head high, at mid on. Westwood replaced Brannigan and Hussein took a good catch from his first ball to remove Brooker. A 3rd wicket stand of exactly 100 saw Nomads beginning to look a little jaded in the field, after their early night (or was it an early morning?), before Heslington returned. A stupendous catch by Moss at square leg saw the back of Newport as Hinton began to eye 300. This was the start of a small collapse, led by Heslington who finally went back to his full pace, troubling all batsmen until first Brierley and Whitby, then Brierley and Inger came together, running a four into the deep and pressing for quick runs. Brierley’s speed between the wickets was proving difficult for his partners as much as for Nomads, as he almost overtook his partner several times and there were questions whether he had run five to his partner’s three! Roberts came on for a brief spell with no luck, however Moss, with two, then Blackburn cleaned up the tail to leave a target of just under 200.

Some excellent cake in a good tea saw Nomads open with Fearon and Heslington. Both openers were happy for Antrobus to bowl frequent wides to keep the score ticking along at just over the asking rate. However, having got into a good position both openers were out almost together, as first Fearon failed to clear the bowler, then Heslington tried for a speculative second run and was well beaten by a good throw. Brannigan and Moss needed to settle things down and they were not helped by a youth on a quad-bike, hotly followed by his mother on another, circling the square a couple of times. However, tempers were settled quickly, especially when the mother pointed out that she owned the ground! Brannigan was batting with his usual power and Moss was guiding the ball skilfully into the gaps in the field. However the darkening sky and increasingly steady rain made it look that the match may be unfinished as the batsmen came off with the score a little over 100. Fortunately, despite the gloomy outlook, twenty minutes later saw the rain ease off and blue skies return, allowing the batsmen to continue. Brannigan didn’t last much longer, though and was replaced by Westwood, who took up where Brannigan had left off, guiding the ball with power into any available space and reaching his PB. After Moss departed to a good ball, marginally short of what would have been a deserving 50, Roberts emerged, although a little hesitant at first he found his form to hit two good boundaries, the second of which fittingly completed the win.
