HCL RD4SW
Hyde won the toss and chose to bat at Jubilee Field and got off to a brisk start with the help of the lightning fast outfield, openers Ball and O'Donnell putting on 50 within 10 overs before Terry Patch struck twice trapping O'Donnell lbw for 27 and then having Alvis caught behind for a duck. John Wills then replaced the excellent Patch and quickly had Ball lbw for 37 before Wright and Golding picked up a wicket each with some tight accurate bowling to leave Hyde struggling on 120 for 5. Wills 7th over changed the match taking 3 wickets in 4 balls and ending up with an excellent 9-2-39-5. The last pair kept the innings alive with some stout defence from Witt and some lusty blows from Welsby who finished up on 22 before Rob Steadman was brought back into the attack and clean bowled him. Wright and Golding led the reply with some steady opening batting seeing off the initial threat from Ball and Gorvin before Wright was caught behind for 18 with the score on 30. Chris Hammond resorted to his regular more aggressive approach taking the attack to all the Hyde bowlers with some big hitting all around the ground. He lost Golding for 17 with the score on 73 but Henry Thornton with 28 continued in the same vein and Hammond finishing up with a superb 87 not out and they took Sway to a comfortable eight wicket victory after only 27 overs. That makes 8 wins out of 8 for Sway II who stay top of the league
