Harpsden lost the toss and put into the field in the heat of the day. Harpsden got off to a great start with Birkett bowling both openers without troubling the scorers. Then Cranbourne built up a decent partnership before Hodgkiss took a good high catch off the bowling off Greenwood, who bowled very economically all day. Cary was then brought into the attack, and after an erractic start he managed to bowl Kirton, yorking himself on the second bounce. Harpsden then tightened the screw even further, with Birkett picking up three further wickets, to finish with excellent figures of 5-15 off 10 overs. A further two wickets came from 13 year old Matt Thomas.
Harpsden then got their turn with the bat. Harpsden started at express pace with Cary and Stevens hitting the ball all over the park. Their 50 partnership came up in the 5th over. Cary carried on timing the ball exquisitely, including five huge sixes and five fours, he departed for a rapid 66. It was then left to Stevens and Bradley to finish off the match. Stevens finished with a near run a ball 39. Bradley finished on a hard hitting 22.

Harpsden Vs BBC Caversham
On a hot Saturday afternoon at the Harpsden ground the host won the toss and elected to bat in this 40 over game. With the new ball nibbling around early on Harpsden openers Ian Reissman and Will Stevens did well to survive. But soon batting became easier and the opening pair managed to ease past the 50 mark. Reissman was finally dismissed LBW in the 17 over this brought captain Andrew Norton to the crease, unfortunately for Harpsden he did not hang around long and departed soon after arrival. James Butler was now in and managed to increase the scoring rate with some lusty blows.
With Butler departing for a rapid 24 and Hodgkiss departing before scoring Stevens was in desperate need of a partner and more aggression in his play. Both coincided with the arrival of 13 year old Matt Thomas whose key 25 runs enabled Stevens to launch an assault on the BBC bowling. With a few powerful blows, as well as a couple of cheeky reverse sweeps Stevens managed to accelerate to 93 before finally being dismissed by Watkins. The Harpsden innings closed with the home side on 208 which looked a daunting total for BBC who had fielded valiantly in the heat of the day.
This indeed proved to be the case as the Harpsden bowlers got on top of the BBC batting line up and remained on top throughout. The initial damage was done by Lovelock and Butler, and the job was completed by Boobala and the evergreen Hodgkiss. At one stage Hodgkiss did have an attempt at a hat-trick after a sharp piece of work from Moyle behind the stumps. Unfortunately the pressure seemed to tell and one of the worst balls of the day was the result. The game was wrapped up by Boobala taking his 3rd wicket and dismissing the BBC for just 83.

A 40 over per side format was agreed by the captains with Harpsden to bat first. The temperature was as warm as it had been all summer as Harpsden opened their innings with Nick Adley and Will Stevens. The pair put on 58 runs in the first 12 overs before Adley was clean bowled by a Wilson yorker for 23. Stevens, who had made 91 the previous day, continued to bat confidently dispatching one straight drive over the road for six.
The introduction of Bobby Bolton to the attack helped to keep the run rate in check. He claimed two wickets including that of Stevens for 49. His spell of 8 overs cost just 18 runs.
Harpsden needed some fresh impetus to their innings and it came in the form of Rob Harris who smashed 44 runs in his usual no nonsense style. Harpsden finished their innings strongly to post a total of 176 runs from their allotted 40 overs.
Shiplake got off to a relatively slow start in their reply with 48 runs coming from the first 20 overs for the loss of two wickets. Harpsden bowled accurately and fielded well with Mike Farmer bowling a spell of 8 overs for 18 runs and Rory Ashmore a spell of 8 overs for 22 runs. Fooks made a good contribution of 31 runs before the pressure to score more quickly led to him being caught out in the covers. M Bolton also batted well before being run out for 21.
The Shiplake middle order looked to up the scoring rate but no batsman could put together a big score. Spinner Ben Hancock claimed 4 wickets including two stumpings aided by wicket keeper Richard Moyle. The Sharks finished their 40 overs with a total of 133 runs for the loss of 9 wickets.
Shiplake will be looking to avenge their loss when the two sides meet again on Sunday the 2nd of September.
