Scorecard

Tipton St John v Newton Poppleford Cricket Club NPCC on Sun 06 Jun 2010 at 14:15
Newton Poppleford Cricket Club Won By 6 Wickets

Match report Tipton St John played Newton Poppleford on Sunday for the Otter Tankard, a trophy kindly donated by the Otter Brewery.

Tipton’s skipper for the day, David O’Higgins won the toss and elected to bat using a previously untried opening partnership of Steve O’Higgins and Dave Alford.

Both batsmen found scoring hard against very parsimonious bowling, particularly from Ed Thomas who gave away only five runs from his eight over spell.

When Steve O’Higgins was caught by Tim Alsford off Thomas for 5, he was replaced by Matt Williamson who mixed stubborn resistance with controlled aggression before he was bowled by Andy Marsh for Tipton’s top score of 30.

Young Charles O’Higgins showed a touch of promise with some mature shots before he tried to cross bat a straight one and lost his middle stump to Alex Rastrick for 11. Still, it was more than his father’s and grandfather’s scores put together!

Wickets kept on falling and Tipton were eventually all out for 99 in the 38th over, and apart from Williamson and Charles O’Higgins, the only other score in double figures was ‘Extras’ who contributed 28.

Thomas was the pick of Newton Poppleford’s bowling – 8 overs, 5 maidens, 2 wickets for 5 runs, closely followed by Marsh who took 3 wickets (all bowled) for 14 runs from 7 overs.

After a wonderful tea (thanks to Maggie and Tan) Tipton took to the field to defend what was a well below par score.

None of the seven bowlers used could dominate the bat of Tom Chaplin who reach his half century with Newton Poppleford’s total score only 66, and although Tipton did not let themselves down in the field – catches from Dave Alford, Matt Williamson and a very sharply taken chance by Robin Pickering to dismiss Matt Hill – Newton Poppleford soon got the required runs with 16 overs and 6 wickets to spare.

Chaplin finished on 68 not out, and Mark Channon was Tipton’s most successful bowler with 6 overs, 3 maidens 1 wicket for 14 runs.

Although Newton Poppleford were worthy victors, the real winner, as it always is when Tipton St John play Newton Poppleford, was ‘village cricket’. As for the Otter Tankard, it stays with Newton Poppleford for the time being.
