The second game of the season was a close fought game. A.W.C.C. eventually lost by 24 runs.
Ashton lost the toss and were put in the field! The team bowled and fielded very well. All catches stuck, with the Stewart Francis (wicket keeper) holding on to 4 catches. All taken from some great bowling. Ashton restricted the home side to just 128 all out off 38.2 overs. The only batsman to score any noticeable runs was the opening batsman M. Bindley who batted almost to the end of the innings for 61 runs. Bowling from A.W.C.C ~ C. White 8-2-15-2, C. Wood 7-2-25-3, J. Ray 8-2-25-1, D. Blatch 8-0-20-3, S. Nowlan 5.2-0-24-1, M. Buckley 2-0-8-0.
Ashton then had to bat. Most people made a contribution to the score, but the only real noticeable contribution came form the young Sam Nowlan with 33 runs. unfortunately the next highest scorer was the extras giving us an extra 22 runs to our total. Ashton were looking like they were on the road to victory until a freakish bit of fielding ran out Chris Wood. Chris White middled the ball back down the ground the bowler stuck his foot out in order to try and stop the ball, he did, but the deflection hit the non strikers stumps and unfortunately that was the end of Chris Wood. Once C. Wood left the crease the remaining two wickets fell in quick succession for no more runs, leaving Chris White stranded on 8 not out. Ashton managed to make 104 all out off 36 overs. Bowling from Braunston C.C. ~ Grays 8-2-9-2, Hill 8-2-18-1, Baird 6-1-28-2, Scrivens 6-2-13-2, S. Suffolk 8-1-26-2.
