Mark won the toss and elected to field first on a nice sunny day for our first game.
Chris White and debutant Matt Gunnell opened the bowling & immediately Ashton Wolds very own Comedy act in the field was straight into action. The batsmen hit a full ball from Matt and it flew towards cover, Dan "Casper" Blatch had a dive and amazed everyone at even attempting to catch it one handed but unfortunately was unable to hold onto the ball much to the expectation to his fellow team members but stopped fours runs.
The opening bowlers bowled well and kept the batmen quiet and the first wicket didn't fall until Lloyd Papworth came on and bowled Fytche with one that kept a little low for 8 runs, Dan came on next and had the other opener Brown caught at cover for 23. Both Lloyd and Dan kept up the tight bowling that Chris and Matt had started and the Tolethorpe batsmen were finding it hard to get away.
After another bowling change John "Sugar" Ray and Sam Palmer came on and continued the good work. Sugar has the no.4 McQuitty caught by Lloyd for 14. The quicker bowlers came back on and Chris White had Parr stumped by Our back up keeper Mr Nowlan. Shortly after the no.3 batsmen hit his fifty Matt bowled him for 51 to get his first wicket for Ashton Wold CC. After a 2 big blows for 4 and 6 by J.Sewell. Tolethorpe finished their 40 overs on 152-5.
After the innings break Rich Awdry and Marcus Papworth opened the batting. Rich scored 9 runs in the first over but then the runs dried up for a few overs as the Tolethorpe bowlers bowled well and put pressure on the Ashton batsmen.
Marcus And Rich both offered catches for 2 & 12 respectively and this put Mark Buckley and Sam Palmer at the crease.
Mark was bowled for 4 by one that kept low and Sam played on for 2 which put us 27-4.
Sam Nowlan and Jeremy Firth the next pair of batsmen set about pulling the team back into the game. They batted well against some good bowling and got their eyes in before setting out for runs. Sam hit Ashton Wolds first 6 this season and when the score was on 97 Jeremy was bowled for 18. This brought Dan Blatch to the crease. Shortly after Sam Skied one and was caught for a very well made 34. Dan and new batsmen Lloyd knocked it around and edged closer to the target. On 130 Dan was given the dreaded finger LBW for 12 and Chris White joined Lloyd. Lloyd was bowled for 15 10 runs later and this brought Matt to the crease to find 13 runs with Chris. Chris then left last wicket pair Matt and Sugar to get the 13 runs by chasing a wide one and getting caught behind.
But Matt and Sugar saw us to the end by hitting singles and twos and got us to victory with 2 balls to spare.
