Sway power to 20/20 cup victory
Sway 159-3, Swan Green 96-9
|
Sway maintained their 100% record in the competition with a comprehensive victory over Swan Green. Sway batted first on a dampish wicket, but straight away were in the driving seat with a fine unbeaten partnership between the in-form Alex Hall and Ross Clark, in probably his most assured performance for Sway with the bat to date. Both players retired on reaching 35, as did Joe Rodway at number three with the first genuine wicket not falling until the score was on 130 when Steve "technicolour yawn" How was caught. After a short rain break Sway resumed on a wet pitch and there was a small flurry of excitement as first Adam Clark was bowled, then next ball it was very much a golden shower for Robert Steadman as he was bowled first ball. Any excitement was soon snuffed out by the incoming batsman Steve Keen who had no intention of playing anything other than a regulation forward defensive to the hat-trick ball. Keen and Dave Marshall saw the score through to a very respectable 159 off the allotted 20 overs.
