Sutton on the Hill v Lichfield Nomads

Scores: Sutton on the Hill CC 216 for 7, Lichfield Nomads CC 149 all out.
Result: Sutton on the Hill won by 67 runs.

Nomads fall short in Sutton scorcher.

On the hottest day of the year so far skipper Westwood won the toss and with the draw an option, inserted the opposition.

With the newly gained experience of league cricket it was a strong looking Sutton side that took to the field but the Nomads fielded a decent side too with Moss a late substitute and Fearon playing his first match of the season.

Booth and Duffill opened for Sutton and batted solidly to some good bowling from Heslington and Moss. Both were unlucky not to get a wicket in their opening spells. Westwood took over from the pavilion end and trapped Duffill lbw. Fearon bowled Harding’s off stump and Moss took an outstanding catch in the covers after steaming in from the boundary and diving to pouch the ball low down. Fearon trapped Land lbw and the Nomads were inching their way back into the game.

Martindale was his usual self, trying to dominate the bowling and had quickly reached 32 when he was bowled by Heslington. Trevatt and Mick Wenn added some useful runs at the end before they were called in for an early tea at 4:20. What a fine tea it was too. Fresh melon and scones with jam, cream and half a strawberry were the highlights.

Gardner hit a four from Fred’s first ball; which was a full toss. The delivery which dismissed him last season. Gardner was finding his touch but Scott was happy to keep out the opposition and hang around while Gardner built his innings. There was then a mix up and Scott was run out with the score on 42. Weir hung around with Gards but clipped a firm shot straight to the fielder and was caught. Moss started brightly with three fours in his first over but also picked out a fielder on the short square boundary, with the score on 93. When Gardner was out for a hard earned 54 there were 12 overs left and the Nomads were 116 for 4. Victory was not an option but the draw was attainable and the batsmen were desperate to end the Nomads losing run. But confidence was low and took a battering as G. Blackburn (2), Rolfe(13), Pickering (1) and Fearon(0) all fell to put the pressure on the last 3. Westwood was looking solid and he batted well against Ashford and Martindale. Heslington also looked solid but was caught in the slips off the bowling of Ashford and the Nomads were down to the last pair with two overs to go. Martindale was bowling pretty rapid at this point and his final over was crucial. Westwood defended the first five balls without incident and then set off to run a quick single off the last ball in an effort to get on strike. Unfortunately the ball went straight to a fielder and Blackburn stood his ground. Both batsmen were at the non-strikers end by now but Sutton fumbled the throw, the ball was then gathered at the second attempt and the fielder ran to the stumps and dislodged the bails to secure victory with an over to spare.
