F)
Next up for the Casuals after defeat against Chepstow was
a home game at Wenvoe.
The Casuals were in to bat first with Skipper Jim winning
the toss. Opening the batting continuing win from the good
opening display against Chepstow was Skipper Jim Hodkinson
and Liam Forster. Unfortunately ending much soon with Jim
getting bowled in the 2nd ball of the innings for 0. In next
was Will Mason-Wilkes. Will and Liam looked steading and pick
up the runs against a decent bowling attack. Will started
to really tee off and wasn’t long before he was close
to retirement once again including 2 maximums as he got into
his 40’s. Will finished off his innings and retired
with a 4 runs to take him to 52 not out. While Will was hitting
at a very fast rate, Liam was plodding along and into his
20’s. In next was Rhys at 4 who started off well with
a couple of quick singles and doubles and 4 but was sadly
caught out 10 runs, with Liam on 30 runs and with the total
at 114 - 2. Next in was Dan Lewis at 5. After a quick 2 fours
from Liam, Dan was caught out for 0. In Next was Ed Stagg
who hit a lovely double on his first ball of the innings but
was sadly bowled a few balls later. Next in to give it a swing
was SteveO who only lasted the a couple of balls before being
caught out. Next in was Liam Warren who like SteveO last only
the two balls before being bowled out by the Hawks bowler
who claimed his 4th wicket of the match and 3rd of the over.

Casuals opened the bowling with the seam bowling of Dan Lewis
and the spin of Dave Thomas. The Caz started off we keeping
the runs low and was soon after DT got the opening wicket
bowling out there opener for 18 with the Score 19-1. With
only 3 runs added to there total Dan Lewis bowled out the
other opening batsmen for 1 run. A good start for the Casuals
but there next two batsmen started to eat away at our total.
Towards the end of the spells for our opening batsmen DT managed
to get the next breakthrough with an excellent stumping from
Skipper James Hodkinson leaving the Hawks almost halfway to
the total at 62-3. With Dan and DT finishing there spells,
into the bowling attack was Liam Warren and SteveO. Today
was defiantly a day for the spin bowling with Liam’s
pace not being as affective as normal. Dan Lewis picked up
the next wicket of the game with a run out and once again
only 3 runs late SteveO picked up another wick for the Caz
bowling out the Hawks Batsmen for a duck leaving the 77-5.
The Hawks captain really started to tee off and started to
close down the total. Sanay came into the bowling to see if
he could break through with his spin. SteveO broke through
again with his second wicket of the match bowling out the
batsmen for just the 3 runs. Hawks captain finished his innings
retired hitting his half century with the total close to being
meet. Fellow retiree Will Mason-Wilkes came into the bowling
attack for SteveO but sadly it was all too late for the Caz
with the Hawks hitting the total in 16 overs winning the game
by 4 wickets.
