Match Report

Knockers boosted their season with a strong win against Holmesdale on Sunday. On a green and slightly damp wicket Holmesdale were put into bat by Knockers. Accurate bowling from Lynden Spencer-Allen (3-10) and Paul Seldon (3-14) restricted the openers scoring and soon picked up wickets. Strong first change support from Joe Druce-Smith(2-20) removed some key Dale batsmen leaving the home side in trouble with less than 50 on the board. Max Melbourne played some attacking strokes to boost the score but was removed by turncoat Ken Cowan for 25. The returning Corin Spencer-Allen took the penultimate wicket followed next ball by Lynden Spencer-Allen brought back into the attack. Holmesdale finished on 70 all out.

The Knockers reply started hesitantly with Melbourne removing Peter Smith second ball of the innings. C Spencer-Allen provided attacking play before being undone by slow bounce for 11. Stuart Seldon was unlucky to be adjudged out for 3 and when Charlie Irwin was bowled by the consistent bowling of Mark Epps Knockers looked to be in trouble at 29-4. Paul Seldon and Lynden Spencer-Allen steadied the ship with Seldon playing an attacking role and Sp-Allen supporting. They took Knockers to within sight of victory when Seldon was bowled by Melbourne for 27. Nick Jariwalla sealed victory with some precise hitting to finish the game with 12 not out giving Knockers the victory by 5 wickets.
