Match report 13/05/10

Last weeks defeat was only a minor blip as Totton & Eling stormed back with a Thunderous defeat of Winterslow

.With the memory of Wellow forgotten the lads batted first and after losing George to his first ball.{leave the wides George]  and Jack to a good one the 2 Ollie's set about building a total that we could defend.

 A superb stand developed and with some excellent running the score soon stormed past 50 unfortunately just as Ollie H was motoring he had to retire with a not out score of 32

But this was only a temporary reprieve for winterslow as Dan Williams started to punish some slack bowling with some impressive strikes which led to him having to retire with a score of 30.

All this time Ollie M was playing a captains innings rotating the strike and keeping everything ticking over!

For the last couple of overs there was storm about to brew, and that was Rory who had been biting at the bit to get out there since the start. He decided that he wasn't going to hang about and destroyed the bowling attack with two massive sixes in a quickfire 19.

The innings then ended with Ollie M not out on 26 in a good total of 126..

In reply Winterslow got of to a shaky start with Matt and Charlie picking up early wickets in a dominant spell which left us in a commanding position.Slowly winterslow got themselves back into the game with some bad bowling habits starting to creep in.

But with a timely good few overs from Ben and Ollie winterslow fell behind the rate and never recovered allowing us to record our first win of the season and as i have been told for some of our lads the first win in nearly 2 years!..Well done
