Thatcham Town Cricket Club Thatcham 1XI- Saturday v Falkland on Sat 29 Apr 2017 at 1pm
Thatcham Town Cricket Club Won by 3 wickets
Match report
A solid all round display helped Thatcham to a 3-wicket win over local rivals Falkland on Saturday as the Brownsfield outfit completed their pre-season preparations in confident style.
Chasing Falkland’s modest 163, Thatcham lost opener Ben Copeman to the pace of Saad Altaf (1-24) but Jamie Young steadied the ship as he and skipper Josh O’Flynn began to rebuild. Altaf continued to ask questions in an impressive opening spell but with less control from elsewhere in the Falkland attack, Thatcham began to take charge. O’Flynn (21) looked in confident mood until an unlucky ricochet dislodged a bail, but Young impressed with a fluent 41 and at 81 for 2 Thatcham were firm favourites.
The introduction of young leg spinner Ahmed (3-42) produced a minor mid order wobble but a 50 run 6th wicket partnership between Jack Young (31) an Stephen Bird (24 not out) saw Thatcham break the back of the total as they eased home with 9 over to spare.
Earlier in the day, a disciplined bowling display set Thatcham on their way as the new ball pair of O’Flynn (3-31) and Ryan Gimour made life hard for the visitors. Gilmour was particularly miserly, conceding just 8 runs from his opening 7 over spell but Falkland battled through and with Paul Jenkins and Mark Abrams (48) both well set, they looked on course for a competitive total.
Abrams departure however saw Thatcham take control as wickets fell regularly and despite Jenkins’ hard fought 84 the innings petered out to an under par 163. Gilmour (2-8) was the pick of the Thatcham attack, with Chris Bird (2-30) adding valuable support.
A confident Thatcham visit newly promoted Aldershot next week as they look to take their promising pre-season form into their Thames Valley League campaign.
