Andover soon fell behind the required run-rate, to a good bowling attack, but had only reached 54-1 by the half-way stage. In an attempt to accelerate, Andover then regularly lost wickets and finished on 102-9 June 28th: Andover U15As won the toss and inserted Bishops Waltham U15s at London Road.

June 21st: Andover U13As, sponsored by David Fox Private Hire, had a disappointing trip to Trojans for the Barfoot Cup Final against St Cross. Batting first, Andover were restricted to 86-6 from their 20 overs, despite useful knocks from the Knight twins, Matthew [12] and James [16*] who were the only two batters to reach double figures. 86 was always going to be a difficult score to defend on a flat wicket and fast outfield and St Cross duly won in 13 overs for the loss of only 3 wickets. James Knight [1-10]. Ben Fletcher [1-11] and Joshua Ballentine-Dykes [1-25] were the wicket takers helped by a Matthew Knight stumping and an excellent diving catch by Sean Attwood.

The U11As also visited Sparsholt U11s and put the opposition into bat. Sparsholt scored 110-3 from their 20 overs with wickets for Kat Newman-Judd [1-6] helped by a Robbie Hadfield stumping, and Kieran Molloy [1-9]. In reply, Andover started briskly with Robbie Hadfield [25* retired] including 20 in boundaries from one over but then wickets tumbled regularly until Charlotte Boyes [26* retired] rescued the situation and it was left to Kat Newman-Judd [4*] to hit the winning boundary to reach 113-7 with one ball to spare. A good all round performance by a young Andover U9 side, sponsored by Southgate Peugeot, saw Trojans U9s beaten by 78 runs at London Road.

They started well and were up with the required rate after 6 overs but Joshua Ballentine-Dykes (2-18), Sean Attwood (2-20) and Harry Blackburn (1-18) soon put a stop to that helped by a miserly spell from James Knight (4-0-9-0) to restrict Hursley Park to 113-6 to win by 27 runs. The U13Bs didn’t fair as well against a much improving Southampton Community side. Put into bat Southampton Community U13s scored 143-1 from their 20 overs with Josh Wharton (1-14) taking the only wicket. Andover tried valiantly to keep up with the required rate but lost wickets at regular intervals to finish on 73-8 with Toby Trinder (10), Josh Wharton (10*) and Edwin John (8) being Andover’s top scorers.

After being put in to bat, Andover achieved a creditable and defendable 118-7 with Anthony Clapham (19), Joe Attwood (17) and Joel Hulmes (18*) the main contributors. A devastating four over opening spell from James Pine (3-6), well supported by Jamie Aldridge (3-11), James Knight (1-11), Matthew Thomas (1-13), Will Turner (1-9) and Dan Boyes (1-3), ensured that Ropley were never really in the hunt and they were all out for 77 with three balls of the innings remaining, leaving Andover U15Bs the winners by the significant margin of 41 runs.

The openers John Gallon (12) and Jamie Hacker (27), playing a pinch-hitting role, put on 45 at nine an over but after the loss of three quick wickets Jonty Hadfield (21) and Ryan Denby (23*) set about re-building the innings and Andover sealed victory, in failing light, by 6 wickets in the fifteenth over.

Unfortunately, the Handicap Knock-Out Cup has been cancelled due to lack of teams. It is hoped to enter two teams in the 2005/2006 Winter. |
