Harpsden entertained the Thespian Thunderers on a glorious day. Harpsden opted to bat first, and made a great start to the innings, with Burgess and Broome finding boundaries easy to come by. Burgess fell in the 6th over with the score on 40. The Thunderers then picked up 2 more quick wickets, with Heanley bowling both Bryan and Hancock. This brought Hepburn to the crease to join Broome, who had already passed fifty. Broome and Hepburn built a solid partnership, with Hepburn playing the aggressive role, smashing boundaries with alarming regularity. Hepburn soon passed fifty, before being cleaned up by Jardine. Broome continued on his merry way, passing the hundred mark for the second time this season. After Broome’s dismissal, Hodgkiss and Greenwood set about taking the game well out of the Thunderers reach, Greenwood in particular showing great power to bring up his maiden Harpsden half century, Hodgkiss soon followed in passing fifty, before Howarth hit a quick fire 30 to take Harpsdens total to a mammoth 337-7.
The Thunderers lost a quick wicket, before Jardine and Stretfield smashed the ball all over the park, once Jardine fell to Howarth for 60, there was an almighty collapse, with only Stretfield showing any resistance as he made 98, Howarth was the main reason for the collapse, bowling brilliantly as he picked up his maiden 5 wicket haul as Thunderers were bowled out for 180.
