On a sunny evening Warkworth chose to bat. McCurley & Bremner faced the seam of Will Young & Danny Collins. Bouncing back from the agonizing last ball loss at Philadelphia on Sunday, Will took 4 wickets for 13 in his 5 overs. Bravo!!
McCurley (4) was very well caught by Olly Alexander diving forward at mid off from ball 3. In the second over Titterington (1) drove a catch back to Danny on follow through, 5-2. First ball of the 3rd over Bremner (1) was bowled by Will, 5-3, a wicket maiden.
In over 5 Anderson (3) was caught by Ryan Sid at deep cover off Will,10-4. Parnell (10) stroked 2x4 in over 6 but in the next he was bowled by Will, 20-5. After 10 overs the total was 38-5.
Bowling changes saw David Cragg & Daylan Deen-Williams enter the attack. Whittle & Lee resisted & the total rose to 50-5 after over 14. But in the next David snared Whittle (24) lbw & next ball bowled Briggs (0), 51-7. In the next Lee (8) was bowled by David, 58-8.
Daylan then took two in 4 balls as Moody (4) was caught by Olly at mid wicket & Currie (0) bowled, Warkworth 58 all out in 17.4 overs. David 3-10 from 4 overs, Daylan 2-9 from 3.4 overs.
The Bulls reply saw Tom Seymour & Olly Alexander face Ben Briggs & Tristan Parnell. Olly (0) succumbed lbw to Briggs from the 4th ball of the innngs, 3-1. Tristan joined Tom & the pair proceeded to dominate, 10 from Parnell's first, Tom 2x4. 12 from Parnell's second, Tris 2x4 + 4byes. Briggs's third saw Tom drive 4,4,4 dot,4, 1 through the covers, 45-1 after 5.
Then the luckless Nancy Moody saw Tom take 4,6,4 to win the game after only 5.3 overs. Tom 44* (17b, 8x4 1x6), Tris 11*( 14b, 2x4)....emphatic !
This 10 point win moves the Bulls top after 11 games on 83 points from Warkworth on 82 but having played 13; in third place are Ashington on 74 from 12 & N/C City on 73 from 11 are fourth. Three games to go against Newcastle City (a-31/7) Ashington (h-7/8) & Bomarsund (h-14/8)
Do come along to cheer the midweek team on, willing them to retain their top spot.
