L.I.C.C. 2nd XI v Moreton in Marsh 2nd XI
Played Saturday 17th May
Cotswold Hills League – Division 5
Itchington II’s got their season back on track with a comfortable win against Moreton in Marsh II’s. Skipper Dave Buchholz won yet another toss and had no hesitation in asking the guests to bat in what could be a rain affected game.
Tommy Perks made the most of the decision with 3 wickets in his opening burst as the Moreton’s early order struggled against his and his opening partner Andy Wood’s pace and accuracy.
Spin twins Tom Crosthwaite and Luke Fogarty then took over and Crosthwaite added two wickets to go with his two excellent catches as Fogarty proved particularly frugal taking 3-12 off his 10 overs. Perks then returned to add another wicket to his haul but Itchington were left to rue missed chances as the last pair hung on to deny them maximum bowling points.
Tom Perks completed an excellent all round game adding 46 n.o. to his 5 wickets and Nick Aldridge scored 21 as Itchington reached their target with 7 wickets in hand.
