WHIMPLE
II secured a one-wicket win at Tiverton in a contest
that saw the father-and son-combination of Steve and
Chris Palfrey grab five wickets between them.
Palfrey junior clubbed 29 in just nine balls to help
lead the side towards victory, the win being confirmed
with last pair Matt Richards and Adrian Whitton at the
wicket.
Whitton (3-38) and Chris Palfrey (3-11) together with
the skipper Steve Palfrey (2-16) helped bowl out the
home side for 115.
After Palfrey Senior was dismissed with just four runs
on the board son Chris took over at the crease and smacked
his first ball for six and followed that with 4,6,4
off the remaining three balls of that over!
Palfrey was eventually out after a nine-ball stay at
the wicket for 29 and it was that contribution together
with that of Tom Bornet (21) that saw Whimple to 100-9
still needing 16 to win the game. Last pair, 15 year
old Richards and his more senior compatriot Whitton
both hit unbeaten 11's to lead the side to a thrilling
single wicket win.
A delighted Steve Palfrey said: “It was a cracking game
of cricket, had we batted first and got the 115 I'd
have been pleased given the conditions, they (Tiverton)
made a huge contribution to what was a thrilling game
of cricket.”
AXMINSTER
skipper Pete Kiy had five for 33 before the rain washed
out the game against Kenn.
The visitors reached 208 for eight before declaring
on 208 for eight with Mandju Rajapaske unbeaten on 124
Kiy possibly wasn't alone in wondering what would have
happened had Kenn required Sri Lankan star Rajapaske
for the 1 st XI game, which was cancelled.
MIKE
Glenny was the man of the moment for Clyst Hydon 3 rd
XI in the six-wicket win at Seaton.
Glenny (4-5) and Matt Harris (3-24) skittled
Seaton out for 85. David Harris (22) and Glenny (20)
then led the run chase.
