Fawley frustrate Sway in Tony Woodhouse

Sway skipper Sam Nailor lost the crucial toss and was unsurprisingly asked to bat. Sway made a good start with Laurie Symons and Pete Bennet looking untroubled. Symons went for 25 but Jack Baughan and Bennet built up the total as fast as they could given the slow surface and by the end of the innings Sway had scored 185-3 with Bennet unbeaten on 67.

In reply Sway bowled and fielded superbly but just could not break Fawley down. There was some excellent bowling all round including a first and ominous bowling pairing of Sam and Max Nailor. The field was also spot on with great work from Hanni and a direct hit from Jack Baughan as Fawley suffered 3 unnecessary run-outs. In the end a very well crafted mature and unbeaten 50 by young N Shrive held up one end and which wickets fell periodically at the other, Fawley ended up on a 100 or so for 7 at the close of play. All to play for in this years trophy, but Fawley will need to take some risks if they want to win.
