Devon Dumplings v O Blundellians

Wednesday 25 July 2012 at School

OB's 249-7 DD 252-6

  This year's fixture between the Devon Dumplings and Old Blundellians was played in fantastic weather and produced over five hundred runs. Winning the toss, the OBs batted solidly, reaching 150 for the loss of just one wicket despite good opening spells from Phil Allen and Pat Hobson. Graham Poulton (30) drove strongly before being bowled by Jack Vittles who, along with Will Squires, impressed with left arm spin. Hugh McDowell (115) was the star of the innings, however, supported by 46 from Andy Giles. Wickets fell to Vittles and skipper Dominic Tuohey towards the end of the innings on the way to 249 for 7 declared.

 In reply, Miles Lenygon's powerful hitting resulted in a 46 ball 66 and the Dumplings quickly passed 100 with one wicket down. Graham White also added 49, but wickets fell including two each for Peter Spens-Black and Jack Rossiter. Oz Bosley (61*) and Vittles (34*) then settled in to see the Dumplings to their target for the loss of six wickets and with time to spare.

 D.D. 252/6 (M. Lenygon 66, G. White 49, O. Bosley 61*, J. Vittles 34*) BEAT 

Old Blundellians 249/7 (D. Tuohey 5-30) by 4 wickets
