Review: With summer at last making an appearance, Felsted hosted an opposing XI from King’s, Canterbury. The Felsted new ball bowlers soon made inroads into the fragile King’s top order. James McCran took two wickets with his slingy left arm pacers and, bowling an exacting five over spell from the Garnetts End, Ben Jewell clean bowled three batsmen. His third over was a wicket maiden and his subtle mixture of in-swing and out-swing proved unfathomable. Oliver Squibb, Stefan Warner and Simon Holme were also amongst the wickets but having had the opposition reeling at 57-6 the Felsted bowlers didn’t quite bowl full or straight enough to finish off the lower order quickly. This allowed King’s to recover to an imposing total of 133-8 off 25 overs. The King’s opening bowlers pitched the ball up and soon found a testing length. With both Oliver Salmon and Simon Holme dismissed cheaply on this occasion, it was left to Pierre Davies and Harry Pilcher to launch a counter-attacking partnership of 30 runs. However, a combination of skilful bowling and, it has to be said, some awful running between the wickets, demolished the Felsted middle order. The only bright spot was a disciplined and determined knock of 27 from Rory McLaren, ably supported by some hefty blows from James McCran. Their last wicket partnership got Felsted to within 20 runs of the King’s total but as last week against Oundle, the chase fell just short of the target.
