Harefield 3 v Thatcham Town Cricket Club Thatcham 2XI- Saturday on Sat 11 Jun 2011 at 1pm
Thatcham Town Cricket Club Won By 5 Wickets

Match report Thatcham 2nd XI picked up 20 points in their 5 wicket victory at second placed Harefield 3rd XI on Saturday, pushing them nearer to the promotion places ahead of their derby encounter with Falkland 3rd XI this coming weekend.

Having won the toss and put the home side in on a damp wicket, Thatcham’s opening attack of Tim Burnett (1 for 29) and Matt Taylor (1 for 14) made early inroads. The introduction of Nicky Voller turned the screw further as the evergreen swing bowler ripped through the Harefield middle order, picking up 3 for 21 from his 8 over spell.

With Nick Bishop wheeling away at one end to finish with 1 for 41 from 17, it was left to Josh Winfield’s (3 for 14) accurate pace bowling to polish off the tail, Harefield 133 all out from 45 overs.

Winfield then donned the pads and led the reply with a mixture of punishing boundaries and well worked singles. Paul Jenkins, seeking to find form before pushing for a place back in the 1st XI, struck a useful 22 in an opening stand of 45 before being trapped LBW by Huyser.

Tom Mahoney, Rahul Mirchandani and Malcolm Bloor came and went but Winfield remained resolute and reached a well deserved half century before also departing, clean bowled by Patel, Thatcham 102 for 5 from 31.

After the minor hiccup of losing Mike Beaumont retired hurt with a pulled calf muscle, Stephen Bird (18 not out) and Bishop (11 not out) played with patience and picked their shots to guide their side home in the 40th over.
