CCA JUNIOR LEAGUE

IT’S NOT often that a bowler with figures of 8-31 is left in the shade – but that’s what happened to Fenstanton’s Brett Logue on Saturday.

Logue put Harlton’s batting line-up to the sword in Division 3B, with six clean-bowled wickets in his haul, restricting the visitors to 156 and securing Fenny’s first bowl-out of the campaign.

But his heroics were bettered by Harlton paceman Graham Harraday, who claimed all 10 Fenstanton wickets at a cost of just 13 runs.

Chasing four runs an over, even against the second-placed team in the league, seemed within reach, but Fenny stood at 24-6 after 10 overs, before Paul Manning and Tommy Newman added 36 for the seventh wicket.

The home side eventually succumbed for a meagre 69 with hitman Harraway mopping up the tail and ending matters in 17.3 overs.

Abbots Ripton made it five wins from five with a weekend victory on a flat wicket at Doddington II in Division 4A.

Doddington scored 203-5 with Lee Smith (3-66) the pick of the Abbots bowlers.

Smith’s classy 83 and a knock of 42 from Jevon Harrison set the foundations for victory.

Kevin Sequenza took figures of 5-32 as St Ives II beat Littleport Town for the second time in eight days in Division 1A.

The home side set Ives a target of 116, with Chris Rogers’ 57 not out, his third unbeaten innings in a row, helping to overhaul the total for the loss of only three wickets.

In Division 6A, St Ives IV took three wickets from Little Thetford in the first three overs, but the visitors recovered to post 140 all out in 36.3overs with Navid Ahktar taking 4-15.

Dom Stevens (44no) batted through the reply, supported by Matt Wilson (60) and winning run-scorer Robert Reagen (18no). Just two wickets fell in 31.4 overs for new skipper Mohammed Arif’s first home win.

Basement boys Needingworth came to life in style on a good Longstanton wicket in Division 2A. After being put in, positive batting from the top order contributed to a combative total of 277-8. Ian Armstrong (71), Dan Sherlock (70) and Ben Carter (60) were the main contributors.

Aggressive bowling from the visitors quickly dispelled Longstanton hopes of victory, with Ben Carter’s magnificent opening spell yielding 4-19 and Dan Sherlock taking an impressive 4-13 as they stalled on 82.

TUCKER PREMIER

A DEVASTATING second spell from opening bowler Bevis Moynan – in which he took seven wickets in four overs – helped St Ives to a comfortable victory over Khalsa.

After putting Khalsa in, Ives took an early wicket but a second-wicket stand of 155 shifted the momentum Khalsa’s way.

When left-arm spinner Kev Gilder made the breakthrough to remove Singh, Moynan returned to capitalise, sweeping up seven wickets for figures of 7-55 and consigning Khalsa to 192 all out.

Openers Reuan Williams (109no) put on 46 with Ricky Greiller (26) and 109 with Matt Durrant (38), before wrapping the win up with Will Lygo (11no) for an eight-wicket win.

Warseley were indebted to openers Matt Rawlings (95) and Simon Donald (37) against Saffron Walden in Tucker 2. They bagged the lion’s share of the 199 all out and it was left to Terry Hayden (4-28) and Nigel Buckingham-Jones (3-42) to stifle Walden and end the reply on 152 all out.

HUNTS COUNTY LEAGUE

A SUPERB unbroken partnership of 197 runs from Dave Cotton and Neil Suckling did the job for Alconbury in a high-scoring Division One game at Ufford Park.

The home side put on 250, with Richard Ewing (3-55) and Neil Suckling (4-70) keeping them in check.

In reply, Alconbury lost three quick wickets before Suckling joined Cotton in the middle. Cotton smashed seven sixes and 13 fours on his way to 119no and Suckling clocked three sixes in his 84 as Alconbury reached 254-3 with five overs to spare.

Huntingdon II are moored at the foot of Hunts Division Three after a 36-run defeat at Upwood. David Drage’s 89 made Upwood’s decision to bat a wise one and they totalled 192-6, with Adrian Rose (2-21) and Waqas Mahmud (2-43) the pick of the Huntingdon bowlers.

Huntingdon struggled to ignite in reply and though Ben George (58) claimed a half-century, Tuffin brothers Steve (4-28) and Neil (4-34) ensured they halted at 156 all out.

Brampton lost early wickets after being asked to bat first in their Division Four clash with Newborough II, with Ian Purser (23) top-scoring in the total of 112.

Newborough chased the target down quickly, losing just two wickets to John Parker (24-2).

Eaton Socon got back to winning ways with a last-ball victory over Orton Park in Division One.

Dom Marchant and Chris Box picked up a pair of wickets each as Park made 184-5, which Eaton chased down thanks to knocks from Bob Nicklin (47) and Carl Baker (36). Eaton needed two runs off the last ball to win, and youngster Adam Newman did the honours, smashing his first ball for four to win the game by two wickets.

In Hunts Three, Eaton II romped to victory over league leaders Hampton. Ben Gowling’s (6-18) brilliance with the ball destroyed Hampton for just 68 and Eaton lost four wickets in knocking off the runs in 11 overs to take the maximum points win.

Matt Cooksey’s unbeaten 58 helped Warboys to overhaul Barnack’s total of 132 in Division One.

Earlier, Sam Latchford (3-19) and Steve Hill (3-32) had kept the Barnack batsmen at bay. Ryan Humphrey (20) and Alex Grange (16) got Warboys ticking over but Sloane Kane went first ball before Cooksey arrived to secure the points.

Meanwhile, Warboys II were undone by Peterborough II bowler Ben Chance in Hunts Division Three.

He took 4-17 in six overs as Warboys reached 140 all out in 41 overs, with Daniel Hyde (41) top-scoring.

Town scored steadily on their way to the total, with Connor Withers taking 2-50, including a caught-and-bowled, but unable to prevent them reaching 144-3 in 43.2 overs.

BUTCHER SHIELD

Eaton Socon won the Butcher Shield with a six-wicket win over Waresley.

Eaton restricted Waresley to just 107 in their 14 eight-ball overs, with Joe Dawborn taking 2-17 and Chris Box 2-34.

Eaton reached the target with 22 balls to spare for the loss of four wickets, thanks to knocks from Az Nawaz (30), Box (20no), Terry Day (19) and Will Hall (18no).

YOUTH CRICKET

HUNTS U10s kicked off the 2011 season against a strong Cambridgeshire side at Godmanchester.

Cambs batted first and made 142-4, with James Dean, Matthew Loggie and Ben Whittenbury each taking a wicket for Hunts. Oscar Brydon (14) top-scored for Hunts in reply as they were bowled out for 91.

Warboys U13s went down to a 90-run defeat to Castor and Ailsworth last week.

Castor batted first and reached 186-1, with both openers retiring on 50 not out. In reply, opener Oliver Jenkins and Harry Large both hit 21, but Warboys could get no closer than 96 all out in their 20 overs.

CCA SENIOR LEAGUE

SOMERSHAM collapsed to a 140-run defeat against Burwell in Senior Three on Saturday.

Aled David (3-50) handled the Burwell batsmen best as they reached 207-8, and Tom Notarnicola took 2-35, but the home batsmen could not find their touch with the bat as they began their reply.

Bowler Robin Kemp took the first five wickets and ended with figures of 7-25.

Openers Zunair Shahid and Ben Austin were dismissed without troubling the scorers, and David added 11. Robert Smith top-scored for Somersham with 34 and, of the remaining order, only Tanatswa Mahonuanyika scored more than one run, meaning the reply fell short 67 all out.

Two half-century partnerships steadied Yelling after the loss of four quick wickets in their Division Two match against Doddington.

Dom Walker (62) and Jack Crawley (20) put on 50 between them before the latter fell, to be replaced eventually by Thumelan Pachiappan (52) as Yelling reached 213 all out.

Doddington made a solid start of 68 before losing both openers either side of the drinks interval, but a third-wicket stand of 67 kept them in it.

Walker’s 4-38 did some damage, before the arrival of Eddie Relihan (4-4), whose first two overs were double-wicket maidens, and Doddington finished 53 short.
