Wanstead (Cockspur Cup) v Hornsey Cricket Club 1st Team on Sun 08 May 2005 at 13:00
Hornsey Cricket Club Lost 138 Runs
With a team of 1st, 2nd and 3rd team players Hornsey travelled to Wanstead for their first foray in cup cricket.
Bowling first Hornsey opened with S Patel and S Shah and it was evident this would be a long afternoon in the field as Wanstead worked the ball around taking advantage of the ones and twos. Despite good ground fielding a number of catching opportunities were spilt and Wanstead were soon on top of their game. C Patel came into the attack but it was the change of bowling to the youngster Brown, which brought an immediately catch to the Hornsey new comer N Atherton.
For a short spell Hornsey were on top of the run rate as the batsmen settled in but it was soon back to business for Wanstead. On came Giles, replacing Brown, punished by the Wanstead attack despite being dropped three times in his five over spell.
Time for the captain, N Makwana, to step up to the mark but despite two wickets the score was fast approaching 250 and Hornsey were starting to look tired. A wicket of the final ball of the innings meant Hornsey were set a target of 311 to win.
Hornsey opened with S Patel and Allen, Patel guiding the ball around the ground and the score ticked over. But wickets soon fell as Allen was run out and despite promising shots Hornsey were enable to offer any meaningful partnerships. Patel soon reached his 50 but fell 6 runs later (56). Any possibility of winning the game were now lost and it was simply a case of batting practice as N Makwana (55) and Brown (14) brought the game to a close 176 for the loss of 6 wickets.
Hornsey had turned up, endeavoured to competed but were a long way short of a match winning performance.
