Squad u17 March On but the Penguins March Out
This was a game of four halves and missing penguins. Finchampstead park was a serene picture on an evening where the cumulus nimbus was gathering and posing a question of rain to come. With several team members on their way from, by all accounts a rather nasty Physics exam, skipper Matt Morris cleverly manoeuvred a late toss which he won, electing to bat. Squad u17 started briskly with Matt Bell 23 and Adam Davey 17 and another good contribution from James Osler 19. But wickets kept tumbling due to some accurate swing bowling from Hurst. Finch were well placed on 80 after 15 overs but were unable to push on and closed on 98 for 8. It was then discovered that someone had nicked the penguins from the kitchen. Taking the field, the bowling of Tony Smith, Alex Walton, Matt Bell who produced some serious pace, Matt Morris, Matt Huggan and Anish Koshal restricted Hurst to 46 after 15 overs. Keeper Marcus Bazley then executed an accurate throw to hit the wicket at the bowlers end for a run-out. Hurst batsman had a late flurry but the target was always out of reach and were all done at 84 for 8 with Phil West collecting 2 wickets in the final over. Finch fielding was much improved but squad u17 will need to do some thinking to up the run-rate at the dénouement especially against Alton next week. So work to do but victory over the old enemy was a tasty treat, metaphorically of course.
