The 14th annual match
between Belstone and the President Peter Hammond’s XI
played out last Saturday under cloudless blue skies. Before the start both teams gathered in the
centre for a minute’s silence in memory of the Club’s first President Jack Reddaway, who died earlier this month, and Chris Powell,
the Okehampton College Principal who had captained the President’s XI in the
last few fixtures and whose sudden death last autumn robbed the area of a keen
cricketer. The match began with a
measured opening stand for Belstone between Richard
Drake and Pete Gross, who survived several dropped
catches to put on 47 in 55 minutes. The
President’s opening attack of Phil Dennis (8-1-18-1) and Luke Wonnacott (8-0-39-0) kept the scoring to three an over
before Dennis made the first breakthrough when Drake was caught for 20. After Phil Woods (8) just failed to beat a
throw from midwicket, Gross was third out for a patient 33, scored out of 74 in
100 minutes. Aidan Easterbrook was
promoted in the order in an attempt to increase the scoring rate, but was clean
bowled by Richard Boarder for a breezy 11 to leave Belstone
on 91 for 4 in the 26th over.
Skipper Wayne Pearce (36) and Chris Walpole (17) then added 46 for the
fifth wicket with Pearce suddenly increasing the pace with four boundaries from
Graeme Woods’ (8-1-43-0) final over. The
President’s XI regained a firm hand with lower-order wickets for their skipper
Daryl Chapman (three for 12 from four overs) and Andy
Carter (two for 12 from four overs) to leave Belstone on 160 for nine after their 40 overs
In reply the President’s XI got off
to a flying start thanks to a chaotic first over from Easterbrook which brought
12 runs including eight wides and two dropped slip
catches. Fortunately for Belstone his erratic spell continued with some unplayable yorkers which ripped through the top order giving him
figures of four for 21 from six overs. Steady support at the other end from Harry
Bushin, who claimed three middle order wickets of his own, left the President’s
struggling at 48 for six in the tenth over.
Opening bat Sampson, who had watched the damage from the far end, was next
out for six, leaving Simon Tremain (9) and Ian Radnor
(15) to contribute the only partnership of note, 26 for the eighth wicket. Chris Gomersall then polished off the last
three wickets in five balls to give Belstone an 82
run victory, their third successive win in the series.
