Match report
St Michael’s retained their position at the top of
Division 11 with a comprehensive victory over bottom side Irchester II.
Put in to bat by the visitors, St Michael’s made a
competitive 209 all out. Another solid opening partnership between Alan Bartley
(36) and Danny York (19) saw 61 put on for the first wicket when Bartley was
caught out off Jonathan’s Grove’s bowling. Two quick dismissals reduced the
score to 67-3 when skipper Will Kingston was run out for 3, soon followed by
York
, well caught by Kenny Coddrington at mid wicket.
Ian Geddes and Simeon Tinnant held the middle order together, scoring 36 and 31
respectively. A late flourish by Brian Ahearn (19), including one huge six into
an adjoining field, took the score past 200.
The Irchester reply got off to the worst possible start as opener Andy Beard was
out off the first ball of the innings, nibbling a loosener from Martin Baker to
be caught at the second attempt by Tinnant at gully. Baker struck again in his
next over to trap Ian McDonald LBW with one that kept a bit low. Tom Marlow then
removed Roy Romain for 5 to leave the reply languishing at 16 for 3.
Kris Batley showed some resistance, including a straight six of Baker, until he
was removed by Marlow, fending off a short pitched delivery to be caught by
Danny York for 31.
Baker then claimed three quick wickets to put the home
side back in control. His fourth was Irchester skipper Jonathan Grove. Grove was
only able to spoon up another hostile delivery from the St Michael’s veteran
bowler. Baker duly took the catch, and was promptly barged by Grove as the
visitor’s skipper vented his frustration in the crudest manner possible.
Ian Geddes and Simon Cannel clinically finished off the tail to secure victory
and 29 points.
St Michael’s now have a free week, before resuming action in a fortnight away
at Spencer.
