Post date: Jun 12, 2011 2:38:02 PM

Bridestowe 1st XI recorded their first win of the season in a rain affected match, away at Whimple. The visitors lost the toss and were put into bat on a damp pitch. They were soon in trouble as Phil Hatton edged a swinging delivery from C.Palfrey to slip in the first over. But from then on, Scott Tremain (51) and Phil Woods (70) battled hard to reach 50, and then played some excellent shots off the back foot, to bring up the 100 in the 26th over. Tremain was then caught at mid off attempting to increase the run rate and wickets started to fall in quick succession, as the new batman looked to find the boundary. Woods remained in control as the score approached 200, when he was finally dismissed, Jack Hatton (30n.o.) took control, playing sensible shots and running well between the wickets. This pushed the score up to an impressive 208-6 from the 42 overs, pick of the Whimple bowlers was P.Hope (12 overs 2-40). In reply, the Whimple openers were watchful early on as Fogerty brothers Tom (7 overs 3-25) and Daniel (6 overs 1-16) bowled consistent lines on a helpful pitch. Tom soon got the breakthrough with the score at just 23. From then on wickets tumbled, with Jack Hatton (4 overs 2-29) and Phil Hatton (4 overs 3-10) both getting wickets with their very first deliveries. The pair continued to cause havoc and the final wicket was soon claimed by Neil Griffiths, capping off a fine team performance. The hosts had managed just 83 all out from 23.5 overs, with T.Griffin (16) providing the only real resistance. Bridestowe (20pts) Whimple (3pts).
