Finchampstead IV v Thatcham Town Cricket Club Thatcham 3XI- Saturday on Sat 05 Jul 2008 at 1.30pm
Thatcham Town Cricket Club Lost by 7 wickets

Match report Thatcham crashed again to defeat this time at the hands of Finchampstead 4th string.
Put into bat on the most perfect batting wicket Bob Gadsden made (20) as Thatcham scored freely from the start. Felix Hartley - Russell then made a dream debut as the 15 year old Etononian caressed the ball to all parts of the ground, he found able support from Micky Stone (40) Liam Redmond then joined Hartley – Russell and smashed (44) as Thatcham raced well beyond the 200 mark. Hartley – Russell finally being dismissed for a magnificent (120) as Thatcahm declared on 263-7 from 50 overs. West (3-32) followed his two direct hit run outs with 3 wickets.

In response Finchampstead were soon scoring at over 6 an over as Thatcham’s opening attack failed to make the breakthough. Spinners were brought into the attack and did manage to slow the rate some what as Malcolm Bloor (2-58) and Rahul Mirchandani (1-52) had Finch at 126-3 at the half way stage. Fine batting from R.Lay (58) had laid the foundation for J.Gaffney to then take to task the Thatcham bowlers who were. it must be said, let down by poor fielding, as he and A.Davey 43 (not out) led Finch to victory with 16 year old Gaffney unbeaten with a quality (88).

Thatcham travel to local team Theale next week where a win is a must if they are to avoid getting involved in a relegation dogfight.
