East Woodhay Cricket Club Lost by 28 runs

Match report
As famously quoted by Barack Obama, Woodhay certainly lived up to an ability to “snatch defeat from the jaws of victory” on their travels to Lymington over the Jubilee weekend. Fielding first, Woodhay bowled and fielded well, regularly taking wickets and bowling effectively on a true but slow paced pitch, where batsman needed to concentrate and play their shots cautiously to get reward.

Partnerships were hard to come by as wickets fell regularly, a stand of 55 between Smith (48) and Elliott (16) for the 7th wicket took Lymington to 173-7 and when the 9th fell at 178 it looked as if they would be well short of a par score only for some big hitting by Lymington captain Ryan Attree, who scored 38 from 19 balls, batting at 11 to take the final score to 231-9 from 45 overs.

The wickets were shared amongst the Woodhay bowlers with George Walters 3-54, Sanjeet Garood 2-46 and Henry Chapman 2-53 being the most successful, special mention though to Alan Williams with 1-19 from his 9 overs who slowed the Lymington scoring down in the middle overs.

Woodhay are never shy of chasing a total and 232 to win certainly did not look daunting as openers Adam Barnes and Ben Hummel took a liking to the Lymington bowling, Freeman bowled good lines and lengths but the remaining bowlers were going at 5 runs per over as Woodhay progressed towards a winning position. With the score om 144, Barnes was bowled by the “unorthodox” James for a very well made 78 and even when last week’s centurion Garood was caught for 9 things still looked relatively straight forward for the team from the North of the County.

The score was 163-2 from 32 overs with Woodhay needing 69 runs from 13 overs as Skipper Joe Lawrance walked into bat, in the space of the next 5 overs when Hummel departed for 87 it had moved the wrong way to 195-7 and Woodhay were staring down the wrong end of the barrel.

Woodhay batters came and went; Lawrance (1), James Hall (0), Seb Chapman (0), Walters (7) all barely troubling the scorers, or the bowlers, and when Mark Chapman departed for 11 Woodhay were floundering, Henry Chapman (0) and Sam Clements (2) left Williams high and dry on 6 not out as Woodhay lost 9 wickets for 40 runs and finished all out for 203 with 3.2 overs left of the innings.

After his tail end onslaught with the bat, the Lymington skipper Attree finished with figures of 7.4-1-27-6 to take 24 points for Lymington, Woodhay having to settle for 10 points for their efforts.

Next week Woodhay are back home in East End to face Fair Oak CC and hopefully a return to form.
