Andover Cricket Club 4th XI (Sat) v Hungerford II on Sat 28 Aug 2010 at 2:00pm
Andover Cricket Club Won by 10 wickets

Match report Andover's fourth team secured their biggest win this season with a fantastic team effort against Hungerford IIs.

Skipper Matt Goodman won the toss and chose to bowl on the greenest deck of the season, and his faith in his bowlers was well-placed, as Graeme Anderson and Robin Richards caused real problems for Hungerford. After Anderson had removed Hungerford's #1 for a duck, the pressure mounted on the opposition, culminating in a spectacular direct hit run-out from Harry Blackburn to remove the second opener as he tried to get off the mark.

Hungerford's batsmen then continued to struggle against very good bowling from Phil Knight and Fran Andrews, and wickets fell in quick succession till Hungerford were struggling at 35 for 7 in the 16th over. S. Walker (14) and L. Franklin (8) managed to pull Hungerford back somewhat before Matt Brown took the catch of the season in the slips off Goodman's bowling to remove Franklin. Andover then ran through the tail, and Dan Du-heaume sealed off Hungerford's resistance with a stunning catch in the deep off Harry Blackburn's bowling. It was a fantastic bowling effort from the squad, particularly Anderson and Knight, who both took two wickets, and Richards, who continues to improve.

Blackburn (43) and Will Turner (21) demonstrated the right balance of control and aggression as they chased down the total, both ending unbeaten to see Andover home for maximum points.

With their decisive win and Damerham's loss to Upper Clatford, Andover stayed clear of the relegation zone in Regional Division 2 North West. After a difficult season, the town's fourth XI are looking forward to next year with a young and improving side.
