Whittakers Snr. and Jnr. lead Harpsden to victory
Tom Nugent and Eddy Birkett playing the chin music against Turville
Harpsden hosted Turville on Sunday for a 40 over match this weekend and when Turville skipper T.Wade won the toss on a good looking track he had no hesitation in deciding to bat first. The Harpsden opening bowlers made good use of a very fast and bouncy wicket with Ed Birkett and Tom Nugent bowling economically but failing to make the breakthrough. It was the introduction of spinners Cary and Stevens, taking 5 wickets between them, that changed the game. Turville were unable to recover and, despite good batting from R Birkett and J Hunt, finished on 150 all out with Christian Whittaker taking 4-20. Ian Nugent had yet another outstanding day behind the sticks with two neat stumpings at crucial moments.
Harpsden stuttered early on losing Stevens and Reissman cheaply, however strong hitting from Adam Birkett, both Ian and Christian Whittaker, and Tom Nugent ensured the total was always in sight. Tom Nugent's match winning 55 not out resulted in a six wicket win for Harpsden with 90 balls to spare.

Family affair as Imlays guide Harpsden to victory
HARPSDEN hosted HAMBLEDON on Saturday for a 40 over match. Hambledon stated well seeing off the new ball but were pegged back as skipper Will Stevens took a couple of wickets. Harpsden continued to bowl tightly and were allowed to as the visitors seemed keen to keep wickets in hand. Winchester and Ottoway were the stalwarts of the innings, with Winchester carrying his bat for 82 not out and Ottoway making an unbeaten 33.
The total set of 174 was only going to prove too much for Harpsden if they allowed the Hambledon bowlers to dominate early on and despite losing Greenwood, Stevens and Norton cheaply to Miles Hodgkiss' bowling the batters continued to show positive intent. George Hepburn, playing his final season before returning to Australia, wanted to leave everyone something to remember him by, and hitting 28 from the first five balls of an over was pretty special; unfortunately the sixth ball was caught on the boundary and Hepburn had to go. It was left up to father and son partnership Andrew and Sam Imlay to finish the run chase, Sam carrying his bat for a fine 70 not out.

The CATCHITEERS chased down HARPSDEN’s 259 in a thrilling 84 over time game.
Harpsden lost both opens within the first 4 overs, bringing Jawwad and A.Birkett to the crease. Jawwad played an attacking innings making the bowlers change their length; however the most attacking innings was to come from J.Wright who scored a aggressive 60 in a great partnership with A.Brikett. Both lost their wickets caught on the boundary in successive overs, leaving Paice and Hodgkiss to finish the innings not out with the final score of 259.
The Catchiteers took advantage of some loose bowling in the first 4 overs, however once E.Birkett found his length he was extremely difficult to get away. Patterson played well before edging behind to Moyle, bringing J.Noble to the crease with the fluently scoring P.Webb. E.Birkett bowled a gaffer to Noble who departed for 20. S.Imlay and P.Webb batted well in a 60 partnership before the change for pace from Paice bowled Imlay. Johnson and both Reads batted around the outstanding Webb to guide the Catchiteers to the first win against Harpsden for 5 years.

HARPSDEN defeat SHINFIELD by 199 runs in a 40 over match on a bowler friendly wicket.
Harpsden were put into bat on a wet but drying wicket, I.Reissman and A.Grimmer found batting hard in the first over’s which is reflected by the steady fall of wickets in the first 15 over’s. However the sun had started to dry the wicket making batting easier, S.Imlay and Captain W.Stevens batted extremely well, with Imlay punishing anything which strayed from the length. Imlay eventually fell for 67 (partnership of 120) Stevens and J.Paice began to take to fight to the bowlers and scored at 8 an over for the final 10 over’s, finishing on an excellent 276.
Shinfield definitely had the best of conditions, both openers began steadily for the first 10 over’s going at 3 per over. Outstanding bowling from E.Birkett removed the top four, leaving Shinfield 42-4 and in deep trouble. M.Hodgkiss, G.Hepburn and B.Hancock bowled well taking the remaining 6 wickets, bowling Shinfield out for 77.

Harpsden demolish the Erratics
HARPSDEN took on LONDON ERRATICS on Sunday with a number of impressive wins behind them recently. Skipper Will Stevens won the toss and bodly chose to bat first on a drying wicket. Stevens and Bryan then overcame some tight new ball bowling from London Erratics to make a stand of 99 for the first wicket. Adam Hurst played the shot of the day hitting an Erractic bowler over an adjacent forest, a feat many had not thought possible. The Harpsden batsman continued to make good progress with Bryan bringing up and impressive 100* within 30 overs and the team declared on 261-3 ten minutes before tea.
The Erratics response started badly with both openers going for ducks within a couple of overs. Deville's control tempered with Tom Ham playing the chin music at the other end was a great combo for Harsden at the top, taking four wickets between them. Rod Birkett then did for the middle order, with an at swift change of pace seeing the batsmen hopping, taking 4 wickets in quick succession and effectively dousing any Erractic hopes of winning. Despite some impressive lower order hitting from the ageless W.G.Hodgkiss the Erractics fell some 197 runs short.
