Bearsted 206-7 in 35 overs (T Croom 56, L O’Brien 38, B Harrison 8-2-43-2, N Coffin 8-1-29-2) beat Speldhurst 188-8 in 35 overs (J Roche 80*, S Horrocks 8-2-18-3, D Latter 5-0-41-2) by 18 runs
Today I made my debut for Speldhurst cricket club and met up with Nick Coffin for the first time in many a year.
We won the toss and fielded in a 35 over reduced match. Overall we fielded and bowled well, but Bearsted got 206-7.
I have to admit I saw one of the best pieces of fielding by the skipper Ben Harrison, with an amazing stop on the boundary and then throwing for a direct run out. Ben and Nick picked up two wickets each.
In reply James Roche played a delightful innings of 80* and with a good knock by Nick Fowler (24), it looked like we might make it, but at the fall of his wicket, we couldn’t support James.
I was out for a duck caught in the covers, hopefully it will get better for me.
