Devon Dumplings v Kelly College

Wednesday 19 June 2013 at School

DD 144 Kelly 145-6

 The Dumplings won the toss against an under-strength Kelly side and elected to bat. Nigel Sawrey-Cookson and Tom Watkins got the innings off to a sound start before Watkins was bowled with the score on 29. The arrival of Tschepo Legodi accelerated the scoring rate and he anchored the innings while wickets fell regularly at the other end. Apart from Nigel Sawrey-Cookson with 19, the remainder of the batsmen contributed a meagre 24 runs. The innings closed when Legodi was bowled with the score on 144.

 The Kelly innings started dramatically with 4 wickets falling for 1 run. James McGahey bowling tightly had 3 of them and Legodi had one with a sharply taken slip catch by Sawrey-Cookson. The sixth wicket fell with the score on 48 and Kelly effectively only had 2 more batsmen because 2 of their players had to leave the ground early. McGahey was rested with figures of 5 for 22 and this allowed the College back into the match, the three spinners used conceding 83 runs in 11 overs between them.

 McGahey returned for a final fling but Kelly won by 2 wickets, skipper Jack Williams carrying his bat for 71 not out. He was ably supported by Andy Egford with 43 not out these two contributing 114 of the required target of 145.

 Scores Devon Dumplings 144 (Watkins 29).

 Kelly College 145 for 6 (Williams 71no, Egford 43no, Mc Gahey 5 for 32). 

Kelly College won by 2 wickets
