North Marston and Granborough Cricket Club start with a win.
North Marston and Granborough Cricket Club played their inaugural match on Sunday 29th July
and started in style against a Waddesdon Sunday XI.
The Club is currently raising money for their own pitch and can only play away fixtures. The kind hospitality of Waddesdon CC allowed the Club to compete in their first fixture despite heavy
overnight rain. Waddesdon won the toss and elected to bowl but North Marston and Granborough openers Gordon Bowden and Mick Hurrell put on a solid 50 opening partnership. Graeme Foster,
Steve Manser and Bill Osborne were able to push the score up to 159 for 3 from the allotted 30 overs with Waddesdon 'old boy' Foster top scoring on 46.
Waddesdon were always going to struggle with the required run rate, after they were reduced
to 7 for 3 by North Marston and Granborough opening bowling pair of Richard Butterworth and
Trevor Lane. Man of the match Foster chipping in with a run out and fine diving catch in the gully. However as long as the classy Jackman was at the crease Waddesdon were in with a fighting
chance. His stumping, rather unluckily off the keepers pads, effectively ended the contest.
Waddesdon youngsters provided some resistance at the end and a superbly middled hook from Patterson off the bowling of Lane outlined his potential.
Waddesdon were finally bowled out 3 overs from the end for 84.
North Marston and Granborough Chairman Gordon Bowden commented "We owe many thanks
to Waddesdon CC for their hospitality in allowing us to fulfil our inaugural fixture. The combination
of the weather and their facilities meant that it was a great family day out. They are the type of club
that we at North Marston and Granborough aspire to be."
North Marston and Granborough are looking for future friendly fixtures for this season and next.
These are currently restricted to away matches. Contact: Gordon Bowden on 01296 670587.
