Welford on Avon v Long Itchington II (11-08-2007)

Published by Dave Buchholz under Match Reports, Saturday 2nd XI - 2007

Played Saturday, August 11th 2007

Itchington II’s 3rd away day win on the trot was earned on the back off a remarkable Man of the Match Performance from Luke Fogarty.

Due to a late arrival Itchington had to forfeit the toss and Welford skipper Dave Jackson had no hesitation in batting. Lane and Smith added 27 for the 1st wicket before Smith fell to Andy Wood (6-0-21-1) and then Jackson N. (22) added a further 36 with Lane before he fell to Dave Buchholz (5-0-25-1). From this point it turned into the Luke Fogarty show as he wheedled out the last 8 batsmen with a combination of flight and spin taking 8-22 in 9.4 over’s to dismiss Welford for 127, Lane making 20.

Debutant Martin Greaves (21) and Jeff Rogers (26) added 48 for the 2nd wicket and Michael Parsons quick fire 19 took Itchington well on the way to victory despite accurate and economical opening spells from Khumalo (10-3-18-1) and Sandhu (10-5-22-0). But they all fell to the spin twin combination of Jackson M. (6-0-33-2) and Lane who finished a excellent personal game with 3-29 off his 10 over’s and it was left to that man Luke Fogarty to see Itchington home with an unbeaten 25 finishing the game with a flourish with a massive 6 over wide midwicket to see Itchington home with 3 wickets to spare.

L.I.C.C. II v Welford on Avon (09-06-2007)

Published by Dave Buchholz under Match Reports, Saturday 2nd XI - 2007

Played Saturday, June 9th 2007

Itchington II’s slipped to a second successive home defeat as Welford successfully chased down Itchington’s total.

Itchington were invited to bat after Skipper Dave Buchholz lost yet another toss and he and fellow opener Tom Perks put on 79 for the first wicket before Perks was caught just after he had reached his 50. Jeff Rogers then joined Buchholz to add 48 for the second wicket before departing lbw. Buchholz batted right through to record a season best 73 n.o. but he and his partners could not provide the necessary acceleration against a very tight Welford attack and the final total of 174-5 was at least 20 runs short of where it should have been, all of the Welford bowlers were frugal with Hoskin taking 2-25 and Khumalo and Sandhu only conceeding 30 and 32 respectively of their 10 overs whilst taking a wicket apiece.

Welford’s reply got off to a flyer through Hoskin and Lane scoring freely. Hoskin went first for 36 and then Steve Franks (7-0-29-2) took 2 quick wickets to give itchington hope but Jackson (21n.o.) combined with Lane to steady the ship. When Lane (36) became the first of Dave Buchholz’s 3 victims (9.1-2-23-3) the game was still in the balance but Khumalo made a rapid 31 to take Welford to the brink of victory which was duly completed in the 37th over.
