Result:Lost by 8 runs
Ronan Willis
won the toss and elected to bowl first on a grey and overcast afternoon. With
the Stortford openers proving difficult to shift it took the introduction of
Tom Carrington’s pacers into the attack, to stem the flow of runs. With Tom
having removed one of the key Stortford openers with a delivery that pitched on
middle stump and hit the top of off, Ronan then brought himself on to bowl. He
bowled quick and straight and the Stortford batsmen had no answer to his pacy
outswingers. His figures of 5-8 were the best of the season so far but
nevertheless, the Stortford total of 117 off 30 overs was an imposing one.
Felsted made a brave attempt to chase down the runs with Angus Muir scoring a
gutsy 30 and being particularly severe on any short-pitched deliveries. Fergus
Cock played some bold shots and both Ben and Tom Carrington contributed good cameos
lower down the order but in the end, Felsted fell just 8 runs short of
overhauling the Stortford total.
