Spaxton beat Doctors by 51 runs Spaxton 192 for 5
Doctors 141
for 2
An early breakthrough for Tom Adcock (1-39)
did little to inhibit the home team on a beautiful Spaxton batting strip as
Scott Bellinger (33 retired) and Will Moyse (30
retired) each hammered 7 boundaries. Charlie
Granville (35 retired) continued the assault with excellent support from Matt
Mackenzie (20) and the run rate was a steady 10 an over as miss-fields and
dropped catches added to the fielding side’s woe. Wickets for Peter Reed (1-31) and Shay
Keohane (2-21), who was the pick of the Doctors bowlers, temporarily slowed
things but sprightly contributions from Will Kelly (13), Harrison Buller (19)
and Tom Bellinger (22 n.o.) ensured a huge total. Tom Millard (10)
looked in great nick until he was called for a suicidal single by Connor
Keohane and was stranded well short of the crease. Keohane (33 retired) made amends with a
sound partnership with Andrew Jeanes (34 retired) but Doctors were never up
with the required rate. A commanding
innings by John Ogle (30 retired) featured his usual elegant cover driving
but even this was not enough to get the visitors on terms. Shay Keohane was
the victim of a fine running catch by Mackenzie at long off from the bowling
of Kelly (1-25) and Adcock and Phil Barker (10 n.o.) saw the game to a quiet
close. |
