CHILCOMPTON SPORTS 117-1 ALMONDSBURY 2nds 112 all-out
Heartened by a substantial team-building breakfast at the local hostelry, Chilcompton headed to the far side of Bristol looking for back-to-back wins.
On arrival, Captain, Futcher, promptly lost the toss and was asked to bowl.
Last week’s impressive form by Lauren Bowen-Jones continued as she struck early and often on her way to 3-18 to leave the hosts reeling at 51-5.
Almondsbury never recovered as the Chili bowlers shared the love around, with Rivers chipping in with 2-7, and Thick (2-17) helping skittle the home side for a paltry 114.
After being given the option to be served tea or head out, Futcher opted for teas. Little did the skipper know, another buffet was on the way as he and Kieran Thick raced to a 100 partnership in twelve overs. Futcher was the only wicket to fall for 42, whilst Thick bludgeoned the ball everywhere for his 67 not out as Chilcompton romped home.
This weekend, Chilcompton host University Staff, hoping to complete a full game and not leave it to the League committee to decide the result.
