The Willows vs
St Thomas of Canterbury College 1st XI
St Thomas of Canterbury College 1st XI
Report by Mike Peacock
A gentleman’s agreement between captains saw The Willows bat first on a good Willows wicket. We lost one of our opening batsman early, however a good partnership between Tim McConnell and Fraser Buckley were able to build a partnership and put a bit of pressure back on the bowlers and keeping a nice run rate. At 2/61 enter spinner Tyler Harris who was all of a sudden on a hattrick putting the pressure right back on the Willows at 4/80. Tyler’s hattrick was all of 2cm away after a very gutsy leave trusting the ball was going to miss off stump. The St Thomas bowlers continued to bowl well and set tight fields forcing regular wickets to fall and The Willows were all out for 162 from 38 overs.
StCC in reply also lost their first wicket cheaply. But enter experienced veteran club premier batsman Ben Rapson who is also a teacher at StCC. Opener Tyler and Ben put on a good partnership getting the team to 1/100 and Ben retiring to put the task of the last 63 runs required to the remaining batsman. The Willows bowlers kept it tight with Stan Wooliscroft showcasing a masterclass spell of spin bowling but going wicket-less. Without being able to get any break throughs, StCC were looking pretty comfortable to cruise to the total before a flourish of late wickets to coach Tim Muir came right at the end, taking 4 very quick wickets with some quality leg spin bowling. Young opening bowler Zak Buist also bowled very well picking up 2 wickets. Another 20 runs from the Willows and it might have been interesting?! Opener Tyler Bruce batted very nicely for his 87 and never gave up a chance before getting dismissed with only 4 runs required.
A big thank you to all those involved to put on such a great day and congratulations to St Thomas College of Canterbury for a well deserved win.
The Willows 162 (T McConnell 31, M Peacock 47) I Redman 2/10, T Bruce 2/41
