Devon Dumplings v UCSOB's

Thursday 31 July 2014 at Instow

DD 279-7dec UCSOBs 186-7

 Dumplings won the toss and batted in this all day game reaching 94 in the 21st over with the fall of the first wicket after 90 minutes. In the next half hour 30 runs were added for the loss of 5 further wickets so things looked badly as lunch was taken. In the afternoon Matt Nichols (100*) batted steadily with Artwell Nyambanje (38) adding 118 to reach 242-7 in the 50th over. A further 3 overs batting allowed Nichols to reach his well deserved century in 107 minutes off 93 balls.

 In UCSOBs reply Nick Prell and Tallan Burns bowled well to reduce UCSOBs to 2-11 in the seventh over. Goldsmith (101) found little assistance in his partners before he was sixth out with the score at 144, but Ward (22*) and Pitchover (22) then helped UCSOBs to their total with few problems. Neither side should be proud of their over rates of 15 and 16 overs per hour.
