Weekend roundup
Finally… We get five games in on a Saturday!!
I think it’s important to start with the positives. We had victories for the thirds, fourths and fifths.
The third team took on Kingsholm at St Peters after being asked to bat the thirds posted 205 for 9, the stand outs of the innings were Jack Purchase who got 47 and John Evans with 39. Despite 106 from John Veits Fros restricted Kingsholm to 184 for 9 to win the game and get off to a great start.
The fourth team defeated Hardwicke, the details are not in play cricket but Hardwicke were dismissed for 79, and the 4s chased them 5 wickets down with Bird jnr scoring a matchwinning 45.
Another great performance by the 5ths. Whitminster were all out for 59 and our boys got them for 4 wickets. Again no details in Play so can’t give you anymore than that!
The firsts and seconds played Bridgwater. The firsts at home batted first and managed 200 for 6 off 50 overs. Kieron Smith getting 52 and Ashley Davis 48. Bridgwater chased them down for the loss of just two wickets with Chris Gange getting 104 not out.
and finally we move onto a very interesting day for the dinky do’s… after a nasty crash (go to the gallery page to see some pictures) the boys dusted them selves down and drove to Bridgwater. After winning the toss Fros took to the field and were on the recieving end of 309 for 3 off 45 overs. Scott Sealey and Tom Clarke both scoring 100′s. The Frocester scored a creditable 215 in return with Sam Evans smashing 33 off the last over!
Team selections can be found here.
