Saintfield
2nd XI Match Report
.v.
Ards 2nd XI
Date:
27th May 2007 at The Demense
Toss Won By: Ards
Following
their defeat away to Holywood last Saturday, Sainfield's 2nd
XI showed their bouncebackability with an emphatic 9 wicket
victory against Ards at The Demense on Sunday. Winning the toss
Ards elected to bat, a decision they were soon to regret as
wickets fell regularly throughout their brief 23 over innings
in which they could only muster 75 runs. Star man for the Saints
was young Matthew Norton who bowled with great accuaracy and
rythm to pick up 4 wickets for a mere 5 runs in his 5 over spell.
Norton
ripped through the Ards tail to follow up on the good work that
openers Ross Boultwood and Gareth Harrison had started. Boultwood
who this season is bowling with great pace and desire had both
openers A Conway (0) and Osbourne (5) back in the pavilion early.
Not to be out done Gareth Harrison also picked up two wickets
having the aggressive McClements (17) caught by Norton in the
covers and I Conway (1) was dismissed by a sharp Paul Mullan
catch at short extra cover. the only man to provide any real
resistence was P Thompson, who unlike his teammates showed patience.
But Thompson was unable to find a partner who was willing to
stay with him, as Norton removed them one after the other. The
Ards innings closed on 75 when that man Norton held onto his
second catch of the afternoon at point to remove Thompson, who
had batted well for his 23.
With
a small total to chase captain Barry Mullan took the oppourtunity
to experiment a little and at tea asked his older brother Paul
to open the innings with Saintfield veteran Alan McCaughtry.
Both took a while to settle, until McCaughtry played a few of
his trademark unconventional agressive strokes to kickstart
the run chase. With the score on 35 McCaughtry attempted another
aggressive stoke only to miss and was bowled by Patterson for
18. Gareth Harrison joined Mullan and this pair finished the
game in the 16th over Harrsion unbeaten on 14 and Mullan 34
not out.
Saintfield
will be hoping for a similar high quality all round display
when they entertain Dundrum at home in the cup this Saturday.
