Bramshaw 1st Win!

Bramshaw played a long trip away at Hungerford. We bowled first and got off to a poor start with their batsman scoring quickly. However Zane swung it like a bananna and the batsman chipped the ball straight back to him with Zane diving forward and taking a good catch. The collapse began as Zane struck again and Jamie Martin came on taking 3 wickets one of them caught by Joe over his head. Hungerford dug in and didn't lose a wicket for 15 overs but good bowling of Joe & Matt Alford. Debutant Josh Arnold took a catch at mid wicket and postman Bones stopping the ball at fine leg and 'delivering ' it over the stumps. Hungerford posted 172 for 9.

Bramshaw batted and got off to a good start with early boundaries Tarty and Sheep putting on 47 the Sheep got out stupidly and Tarty went soon after. But Matt & Zane batted strongly and put on a good partnership. Zane got out to an awesome catch for 28 and Matt got a lovely 45 but then got bowled. Bramshaw were ticking over with Johnny and Ben the blob at the crease with Ben using his light footwork and heavy belly to defend their quick south african. Johnny and Ben got out and Bramshaw needed a few runs but J macka Wacka hit a chipped 4 and needing 1 to win Joe finished in style with a 4 and Bram won with 5 overs to spare. Same again next week!
