A cautionary tale for the Bulls, winners of the delayed 2023 Roseworth Trophy against Felling, but succumbing dramatically as Cousins struck 38* (5x4 2x6) in 12 balls &, in company with Hill, blasted a partnership of 43 in 3.4 overs, mainly over mid wicket & mid on, Will & Danny suffering most.
Felling chose to field. The evening was warm. Edwards & Southern faced Trotter (sla) & Brad Lowery (rm). 9 from the first but in the second in form Edwards (12) drove Lowery to deep cover where Dawlatzia made good ground from the boundary to take the catch falling forward, 13-1.
At 33 in the 7th Southern (15) drove high to the cover boundary where Forster took the catch in Dawlatzia's first. Doig (6), on the back foot aiming to cut, was bowled by a Hill leg break in the next, 35-3.
There followed a useful partnership of 48 between Ozmen & Fletcher as Hill (lb) & Cousins (ob) took up the attack. In over 15 Ru (17) drove high to the cover boundary where Forster once again obliged, 83-4. In the next Jan (33, 27b, 5x4 ) a busy innings, aimed to force off the back foot but edged the impressive Dawlatzia, now from the Pavilion end, to w/k Stamper, 5 down.
Lunny (25*) & Fraser Hall (10*) pushed on in a partnership of 35* in 4 overs, the Bulls ending on 122-5 after 20 overs. Dawlatzia 2-17 in his 4 overs of nip & bounce off a good length.
Stamper & Taylor faced the right arm seam Fletcher & Davidson. 24 from 4 overs but at 27 in the 5th Taylor (16) was very well caught by Ru, moving & diving to his right at wide long on in Will's first. Wright (0) drove to Ru at mid off in the next, Lunny's first, 32-2 & at 38 in the 8th Gilmore(1) swung to mid wicket in the ring, where Will took the catch, 3 down.
Stamper & Hill pushed on & the totals at over 12 were SN 67, Felling74. In over 13 Taylor (30) drove Will to Angus at mid off, 81-4. There followed the Cousins onslaught which took the game away from the visitors as Will's last two overs went for 21 & Danny's only over for 18.
The game ended in the 16th with 2,4,6 off Ru to Cousins (38*), Hill (22*), an emphatic 5 wicket victory for Felling.
Defeats to Felling in both T20 & the Roseworth in 2025. A need to bounce back on Sat 21st June : NEPL Div 2: SNCC v Gateshead Fell (h) 1200, 105o, win/lose/draw. We hope you can be there to see the second placed Bulls retain their position with a win.
