Saintfield
1st XI Match Report
.v.
Dundrum 1st XI
Date:
17th June 2006 at The Demense
Toss Won By: Dundrum
Dundrum
travelled to The Demense on Saturday keen to preserve their
unbeaten record in Section 3, Saintfield on the other hand knew
that they needed to win to keep their hopes alive of challenging
for the title. Dundrum skipper, Rodney Hassard, won the toss
and somewhat surprisingly elected to field.
However this decision appeared to be justified as in the first
seven overs Saintfield could only manage one run, courtesy of
a wide! With Lee Connor and Darren McCann bowling a tight line
and length Saintfield's opening pair of Wheeler and Clegg struggled.
Clegg (0) was eventually trapped leg before by McCann in the
sixth over. This brought a catalogue of wickets Tommy Stewart
(1) was next to go bowled by Connor, Woodruff (4) played on
off the bowling of Shilliday, he was shortly followed by Wheeler
(8) who was caught by Hassard in the covers of the bowling of
McCann. At 17 for 4 Saintfield were in serious trouble. David
joined McCavery and both steadied the ship and added a few runs
before McCavery (11) was caught by Bailey in the gully off the
bowling of Joel Maguire. Paul Mullan joined David with the score
on 39 for 5 in the 19th over. Mullan and David batted sensibly
before David (44) skied one of Hassard's bowling which Joel
Maguire held onto at gully. Boultwood (2) was caught a by Derrick
McCann off his brother Darren's bowling and Mark McBriar was
caught and bowled by Lee Connor. Mullan (28) was next to go
following a steady innings, run out by a Joel Maguire direct
hit (although if the 3rd umpire had been available it may have
proved an interesting decision!!!). Murray and Yeates added
15 for the last wicket before Murray was bowled and Saintfield
finished on a disappointing 127 all out in the 43rd over.
At tea Dundrum were hot favourites, however Saintfield were
determined to make them fight all the way. Saints skipper Mark
McBriar led the way removing Bailey (0) in the second over;
in the fourth over he produced a great Yorker which bowled Joel
Maguire. Darren McCann (11) and Hassard then carried the Dundrum
innings forward before Mark Yeates clipped the top of McCann’s
off stump with an outstanding delivery that nipped back. Saintfield's
young wicketkeeper Craig Boultwood then produced a magnificent
stumping off the bowling of Wheeler to get rid of Hassard (28).
This brought Lee Connor and Derrick McCann to crease this pair
took the score to 90 for 4 and it looked like Saintfield's chance
had gone. However when Woodruff had Connor (21) caught by Murray
at mid wicket and Noel David caught and bowled McCann, Saintfield
regained belief. Woodruff ripped through the Dundrum tail to
finish with figures of 5.4-1-20-4 as Dundrum fell 24 runs short.
