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.
