News from the 2005 Competition - 3rd September 2005

With no League game set for Saturday the club held its’ now annual Single Wicket Competition for the ‘Andy Kaye Single Wicket Shield’.

There were shocks all the way in Round One. David Bolt got the better of Graham Kirkby in the battle of the cousins. John Neal struck first ball to get Mat Haigh lbw and scored a single to win. Pat Neal had big hitter Rob Haigh caught second ball for one as he hit a full toss to David Bolt on the deep mid on boundary. So it was two nil to the Neal’s. Nas Saudager having scored 11 bowled Andy Kaye first ball for 0.

In round two John Neal played dad Pat and in a dramatic finish edged out dad. John scored 10 not out. In reply dad was run out off the last ball with the scores tied. Dad thought he’d lost as did everyone else except Don who adjudged a bowl out was required. John hit – dad missed. Mat Haigh was given a reprieve and played Chris Kirkby but lost. Paul Newton beat Danny Martin and David Bolt defeated Nas Saudager.

In the semi’s – David Bolt scored 11 against John Neal who did well in reply but was unfortunate to be run out by a direct hit for 5. Paul Newton made it an Ashes Final by beating Chris Kirkby.

The Final played over 3 overs with the batsman now loosing 5 runs if out saw David Bolt score a fine 40 with the help of some wide bowling from Paul Newton. In reply though Paul batted like Adam Gilchrist on a good day and won with a ball to spare and the played a lovely forward defensive to secure the shield.

In the Plate Final Andy Kaye thrashed Danny Martin who ended up with a negative score.
