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.
