Butterworth Jones lost to Doctors by 116 runs Doctors 181
for 2 Butterworths 65
all out Captain Sam Powell led from the front in an electric
opening stand of 64 with Graham Fergusson which occupied only 6 overs. Powell (35 retired) exited in style with a
soaring six and Fergusson (31 retired) soon followed him back to the
pavilion, also signing off with a stylish boundary. Harry Lee and Alan Dunkley maintained the
tempo until Lee (16) played an uncharacteristically ugly heave across the
line to Ricky Savill (1-18) and Dunkley was caught by Phil Greenway off
R.Dingle (1-29). The wickets gave only
temporary respite to the toiling bowlers as Alex Kemp (30 n.o.) and Andrew
Paisley (31 n.o.) kept the scoreboard rattling along at ten an over until the
close of the innings. Butterworths innings began disastrously when their best
batsman David Edworthy was well stumped by Fergusson in Phil Barker’s first
over. Things got worse when Fergusson
snaffled a sharp catch off Tom Adcock and the same bowler produced a beauty
to bowl J.Dean. David Savill and James
Bacon steadied the ship for a while in the face of tight, demanding bowling
by Barker and Adcock but then Savill (10) drove Barker (2-10) to Lee at extra
cover and Ricky Savill chipped Adcock (3-20) tamely to Dunkley at square
leg. Bacon thereafter played pretty
much a lone hand as Peter Reed (3-8) and Charles Macadam ran through the
other batsmen. Angus McDonagh was
mortified to pick out Kemp at deep midwicket and Bacon’s excellent innings of
25 ended with a catch to Powell off Macadam (2-19). |
