Match report
St
Michael’s started their first league match in division 10 against Kettering III
on a warm and sunny afternoon at
Kettering
which St Michael’s had used as their home ground for some fixtures last year.
Skipper
Will Kingston won the toss and elected to bat on what looked a good wicket.
Simeon Tinnant soon got into his stride and continued to play a fine innings
until he was out for 60 in the 41st over. At the other end Alan
Bartley and Dale Harrison were out cheaply although Will Kingston with an
aggressive 31 kept the scoreboard ticking over.
After
he went another 4 wickets fell cheaply on a wicket that was keeping low and
slow. With the score on 151 with only 7 overs to go, enter Tom Marlow who flayed
the bowling for 48 not out with 3 sixes off his first 3 balls. The result was
that St Michael’s finished on 210 for 8 which looked a good score on a slow
wicket.
Kettering
started their innings in a positive manner. Opening bowlers Marlow and Malc
Swann had little success, so the skipper brought on Simeon Tinnant and Ian
Geddes to replace them. Geddes made the first break-through and with Tinnant
also bagging a wicket the run rate was starting to climb. Geddes got the crucial
wicket of Mitchingham who had looked dangerous on 26 just before the half-way
period and after that wickets fell regularly with Swann coming back to bag 3 and
with 2 batsmen run out. Only a late flurry from Russell moved the score along to
164 when Marlow picked up the final wicket with a sharp catch from Kingston
in the penultimate over.
