Scorecard

Springfield 2nd v Burnham Sports CC 1st XI on Sat 30 Jul 2016 at 13:00
Burnham Sports CC Lost by 7 wickets

Match report Despite a half century from captain Joel Whittaker, the first XI could not defeat a strong Springfield side in their T-Rippon Division 1 fixture. Burnham opted to bat on pitch that turned out to be lively and difficult to score runs on due to heavy rain the previous evening. After losing two early wickets the stoic presence of Neil Saunders (29) helped Burnham to rebuild. The middle order of Grant Smith (43) and Joel Whittaker (51) worked hard in the difficult conditions to set up what looked like a promising innings.
However, once they were out, the remaining batsmen struggled to gain momentum and they reached the 45 over mark with just 189 runs for the loss of nine wickets. Pothem (10-2-39-3) bowled with accuracy for the home side; three of their other bowlers managed two wickets apiece to contain Burnham’s batsmen.
Despite a huge effort by Burnham’s bowling attack the hosts’ batting benefitted as the pitch improved during the afternoon. Burnham could only claim three wickets in total as C. Prudence led Springfield to victory with 77 not out. Tom Silvester, Robin Whittaker and Fuad Ahmed claimed the only wickets for Burnham.
Next week the firsts are at home to South Weald, looking to bounce back from a poor run of form.
