Portadown 2nd XI
Date:
30th June 2007 at Chambers Park
Toss Won By: Portadown
At
Chambers Park on Saturday Saintfield gained their third league
win out of four to maintain their aim of promotion this season.
Given the overnight rain and cloudy overhead conditions it was
no surprise when on winning the toss Ports captain Paul edgar
asked Saintfield to have a bat. The wicket was very lively with
deliveries rising sharply of a lenght making it difficult for
batsmen ever to be comfortable at the crease.
Saintfield
welcomed back veteran Alan McCaughtry to open the innings along
with Paul Mullan. This pair survived early hostile bowling and
quickly set about the Portadown opening pair of Whitfield and
the impressive James Edgar. With the score on 44 in the 7th
innings Mullan (23) drag one on from a wide delivery and was
bowled. Gareth Harrison and McCaughtry then took the score to
61 before Harrison(12) was adjuged to have gloved one and was
out to an acrobatic catch by wicketkeeper O'Hara. McCaughtry(17)
followed a short while later with the score on 66. Teenagers
Dean Gordon and Craig Boultwood had put on 19 for the fourth
wicket, when first ball after drinks Gordon (14) was bowled
by Hoyle. Brian Hall joined Boultwood and vice captain Hall
looked in a determined mood and punished any wayward bowling.
With the score on 124 he lost Boultwood(9) caught at mid-wicket,
mistiming a pull shot. Al Glover and Hall put on 32 in a 6th
wicket stand however were dismissed in the same over by the
lively Edgar, Glover for 17 and Hall for a well fashoned 30.
Trevor Long 24 not out batted well and was still there at the
end as the Saintfield innings closed on 205 for 9 off their
45 overs.
With
the ball Saintfield struck early on. 16 year old Ross Boultwood
has been in irrepessable form all season and the Portadown top
order found his pace and bounce impossible to deal with. Boultwood
picked up 2 wickets in his first 3 overs for no runs. Gareth
Harrison also got in on the act as Saintfield had Portadown
rocking at 15 for 4. Haddock was then joined by Hoyle and this
pair set about repairing the damage. Haddock in paticular was
agressive in his style Hoyle was more determined and patient.
Saintfield knew breaking this partnership was vital and the
breakthrough came when the wily Nowotarski tempted Hoyle to
advance down the track only to be stumped by the alert Glover.
Saints skipper Barry Mullan who bowled an excellent line and
lenght all afternoon picked up 3 quick wickets to really put
the game beyond Portadown. The came was concluded with Portadown
on 141, when Glover added his second stumping to three his catches
to dismiss Haddock (97) and give Saintfield a 64 run victory.
