SWAY     140 -3 BRANSGORE   58

After overcoming an inauspicious start Sway ran out comfortable winners prevailing by 82 runs against a young Bransgore side.

With regular opening partner Alex Hall still getting ready having  been laid low by man-flu, Adam Clark was partnered by Steve How but it was bowler Andy Thomas who was up and running having Clark caught behind by Will Wright second ball and then bowling David Steadman with the fourth ball leaving Sway 2 - 1 at the end of the over. How and Neil Prince set about repairing the damage and with the score at 49 How retired bringing in Hall who launched into the bowling and at 85 he also retired. Prince was caught by Seb Binfield off of Tom Baker for 20 leaving Sam Nailor (19 n.o) and How (48 n.o) to push the final score up to 140 - 3 with Thomas finishing with 2 - 19.

How and Hall opened the bowling for Sway and Wright was run out early on before How struck having Binfield lbw for 2 and with Pete Butcher also run out Bransgore were in trouble at 36 - 3 after 4 overs. Things didn't improve much for Bransgore as How had Thomas caught by Steadman to finish with 2 - 17 and with two more run outs the innings closed on 58 after just 6.1 overs.
