Horspath Cricket Club 1st XI v Plumtree on Sat 14 Apr 2012 at 13:00
Horspath Cricket Club Won By 21 Runs

Match report The Notts Premier League side Plumtree, who included former Horspath favourite Ben Thompson in their lineup, provided formidable opposition. Horspath were inserted on losing the toss and quickly lost Matt O.Connor on his return from Tasmania. Coming on first change Tommo suckered Robbie Eason into playing no shot to a ball that clipped the off bail and then captured Shabbaz caught behind. Jimmy Phillips again looked in good form, as he and Will Eason set about repairing the damage in positive fashion. Everybody was surprised when Jimmy was bowled during an over in which he had already taken 16 upon which Greeny immediately ran himself out. When Will was caught behind the Horspath innings was tottering on 120-8. The innings was rescued by an excellent stand between Andy Roberts and Dan Todd, both playing sensibly and running hard. When the partnership was ended there was time for Andy C to play a couple of sublime cover drives before being last out with 3 balls of the 45 overs remaining as Horspath totalled a competitive 162.
Horspath bowled and fielded with much greater intensity than the previous week against Slough. Will captured two wickets in a testing opening spell supported by ACs accuracy at the other end.
A fiery spell by Shabbaz saw him capture the prize wicket of the dangerous Thommo, assisted by tidy work from Andy Roberts, enjoying a fine debut, behind the stumps.
Jack Biggs and Dan Todd came on and kept the pressure on the Plumtree batting before the return of Will and Shabbaz saw them record three wickets apiece as the innings concluded at 140 in the 43rd over. A heartening display
