A confident
Arnesby team won the toss and went into bat to try and take advantage
of a good batting wicket.
A solid start with Norman Moltu (29), David Hogg (35) and Wes
Sykes (31) looked to set Arnesby up for a high score, but tighter
Gumley bowling and good fielding only saw Dave Matthews and Steve
Dunn get into double figures. Arnesby were all out for 146, 10
overs short of their full allocation. Dennis Pickering did most
damage with 3 wickets for 15 runs off 4 overs.
With little runs to play with Arnesby needed tight bowling and
good fielding to stand any chance. Excellent bowling from George
Lees and Norman Moltu kept the Gumley run rate under control.
Dave Hogg got the important wicket of Ben Pickering for 37 with
the help of Steve Dunn who brilliantly took a steepling catch.
Arnesby toiled away and got within two wickets of victory, but
Dennis (30) and Peter Pickering (4) both not out steered Gumley
to victory with 12 over to spare. Best of the bowling came from
Dave Hogg 2 for 5 off three overs, Norman Moltu 3 for 17 off 8
overs and Martin Greenwood 2 for 15 off two overs.
This ended up being a day for the bowlers and a closer match than
expected. Perhaps the difference between the two teams in the
end was the 6 missed catches by Arnesby. |
