An Ashley team
traveled to Stretton for the first of 3 games involving the clubs in the next
6 days for a 1st XI cup match and thanks to some run a ball scoring
from most of the top order came away with a win. Knight and Deans put
on 55 for the first wicket 6.4 overs before Deans skied one. Barber and
Knight took the score to 74 in the 11th over before Knight fell to
give Nesbitt his 2nd wicket. Horsfall got the skipper scampering
between the wickets as they added 25 mainly in singles; Hasan hit his 3rd
ball for a maximum before falling to a direct hit. Power, making a return to
the 1st XI, hit the last ball of the 20th over for 4 as
Ashley just fell short of setting a 7 runs an over target. Mullins and Malik
opened and looked to have a go at anything slightly wide or full, Malik
though failing to clear the infield and Felix completed the catch. The rarely
used Knight then ripped out the heart of the Stretton middle order with 3
wickets in 18 balls including the game’s only maiden. Deans and Power both
took two wickets in an over and despite some heavy hitting by Mullins junior
the task proved to much for the lower order. Talbot provided the home team
with some hope as he hit 3 fours in quick time, but Smythe ran him out by 10
feet and Ashley progress to round two for the first time in quite a while,
Trafford or Stockport away in the next round. |
