Woodgreen v Longparish Cricket Club Longparish Friendly on Sun 06 Jun 2010 at 2.30pm
Longparish Cricket Club Won by 29 runs

Match report The perennial trek to Woodgreen, a pretty ground atop a hill surrounded by beasties and Sunday folk perusing the open gardens. Cricket was listed as an attraction on the Village Fund raising day, so the pressure of creating the impression of proper cricket being played, hung heavy in the air.

In bright sunshine and in front of a rapt equine audience, Longparish batted first and started well. Alex Coetzee and Matt Jackman demonstrating the full gamut of shots in an opening partnership of 86 before Coetzee was run out for 25, and Jackman retired on 52. Brad Aldridge hit 15 and Michael Taplin tonked the first sixes of the day in an impressive 35 along with U15 wicketkeeper batsman Dan Pomroy, who hung around for a steady 8 in his first senior start. A late order collapse to the canny Cousins threatened to cut the Longparish innings short. Phil Clark was the first to fall for 3, followed by Gary Taplin who edged to slip. Warren Bonathon looked in, but got out in his brief innings of one ball, that left Captain Jackman dashing off to don his whites and William de Cani to face the hat trick ball with the entire Woodgreen side under his nose. The ball was dispatched square for 3, de Cani finished unbeaten on 19 and Jackman an underdressed 5 as Longparish closed on 213 for 8.

Longparish opened with spin and seam against a strong Woodgreen top order. Ben Gardner took the first wicket in his second over and William de Cani picked the second up in his fifth. Woodgreen rallied and put on 70 odd for the 3rd wicket before Brad Aldridge was introduced, bowling danger man Gordon Scamnell for 29 with a searing delivery. A still fresh Warren Bonathon donned the spinner’s mantle and surprised many with a mixed bag of deliveries that reaped 3 for 27 from 5 overs. Dan Pomroy had a great game behind the stumps and Phil Clark took 2 for 26 from his 5 overs as Woodgreen missed the target by 29 runs.
