Doctors lost to Burnham CC by 56 runs Burnham 153 for 7
Doctors 97 all out
An early wicket for Sam Powell (1-21) was
balanced by sprightly innings from Peter Gaylard and B.House. When House (19) was run out by a fine throw
by Will Griffiths and then Phil Barker took a good running catch to dismiss
Gaylard (13) off Peter Reed (1-20) honours were roughly even. The game was changed by a fine partnership
between Birkett and P.Harris who put on 60 quickfire runs before both retiring
unbeaten on 30. Doctors ground
fielding was well below its usual standard until wicketkeeper Harry Lee
effected a smart run out, but D.Aston and C.Harding kept up the momentum
until Harding (15) was the first of three victims in an interesting spell from
Andrew Jeanes (3-27). Aston remained
undefeated on 17.
Doctors’ reply did
not go well as J.Annison (2-16) and J.Marsh (2-20) reduced them to 3 for 16
of which 14 were extras. Wickets were freely gifted until a freewheeling
stand between Lee and Powell briefly threatened to turn the tide. When Lee (14) holed out to Marsh off
E.Booth (1-11) and Powell (13) was bowled by Harding (1-15) the game was
up. Aston (1-7) and House (1-9) made
further inroads and despite a fighting 32 from Jeanes and 11 not out by
Robert Seymour the Doctors fell woefully short. |
