Match Report

A tough encounter for Knockers against the cricketing giants of Shoreham ended in an eventual 150 run win. Paul Seldon continued his fine season with a classy knock of 102 containing all his trademark shots, and he was well backed up by Tom Watts (39), the evergreen Paul Cook (47), Guthrie Miller (14no) and Lynden Spencer Allen (17) as Knockers declared on 238-4.

In return Shoreham made a stubborn start but they were eventually unlocked by some fine bowling from Matt Watts (2-7) playing his first game of the season. Freddie Young (1-14) continued the momentum with a fine delivery to bowl Nick Walker. After this good start, Shoreham regrouped through Paul Styles who showed determination to bat through.

A change in bowling though brought on debutant Chris McDowell (4-11). Having been hit for boundaries on his first two balls, he struck with his third and started to work his way through the tail. At the other end, Stuart Seldon (3-4) came on to bowl and through an interesting mix of varied deliveries, the two bowlers cleared up the tail well before the draw became a possibility, with the final five batsmen all getting out for ducks.

The Shoreham lads seemed to find their team mates demise highly amusing and we progressed on to the pub to be very well catered for once again.

Knockers travel to Hurst Green next to see if they can continue this good form.
