U15 A v St Martin's

Tuesday 4th June 2014
Result: Won by 8 wickets


St Martin's: 67 all out (20 overs) (T. Wilkes 3/9, W. Buttleman 2/4)
Felsted 71 for 2 (8.3 overs) (J. King 27)

Despite a terrible forecast, and threatening skies, Felsted's Essex Cup quarter final went ahead against St Martin's.  With the visitors batting first in cold and windy conditions, the bowlers were put under pressure by opening batsman Tredgett, who made a breezy 15, but once he was out, there was little resistance.  Charlie Latham bowled well, but Toby Wilkes and Will Buttleman ran through the tail, as St Martin's fell away from 33-1 to 67 all out.

In response, Josh King took the attack to the bowlers, smashing 27 from just 14 deliveries, and with good support from Matt Morley Jacob (14) and Charlie Latham (19 not out), Felsted progressed smoothly to the semi finals, due to be played next week.

A sterner challenge awaits at the weekend with an away trip to Oundle.
