Date and place of Match: Saturday August 24 th, Away.
League: NSA Saturday Division 1.
Scoreboard: Swanage 224 - 5
( C.Wells 64, A.Croft 42*, N.Clark 39, A.House 26.)
Wayfarers 225 - 8
( M.Carroll, 54, P.Williams 51, C.Wayatt 22. C.Wells 3 -
37.)
Result: Swanage lost by 2 wickets.
Details:
Craig Wells and Nick Clark successfully combated the
swinging ball to put on 91 for the first wicket. When Clark
was caught behind, Charlie Wycherley kept up the momentum but
when he was bowled, Wayfarers pulled back the scoring rate.
They were rewarded by having Wells caught on the boundary
after a patient innings punctuated by some majestic shots
through mid wicket. Andy Croft now provided the necessary
urgency, adding 65 in the last eight overs, with good support
from Anton Howse.
Wayfarers’ reply instantly achieved the required
run rate through good straight hitting. The Swanage bowlers
also helped with wides, as they gave away 50 extras during the
whole innings. Two quick wickets from Ian Perry then pegged
Wayfarers back to 100 - 3 after twenty overs. When M.Carroll
joined the confident Phil Williams, he hit his first ball for
six over mid wicket. Craig Wells late introduction then gave
Swanage hope with three wickets but Carroll had got 54 quick
runs before Wells had him caught behind. With further wickets
falling, the finish was tense but Wayfarers reached their
target with three overs to go.

Date and place of Match: Sunday August 25 th, at Home.
League: NSA Sunday Division 3.
Scoreboard: Swanage 147 - 7
( M.Nash 47, T.Edgar 29, A.Avery 28*, R.Wilcox 20. Priest 4
- 45.)
Broadstone 128 - 3
( S.Leadbetter 46*, S.Brown, 22, K.Brewer 20.)
Result: Swanage lost by 7 wickets after rain stopped the
second innings.
Details:
Broadstone’s opening bowlers P.Farrant and Simon
Leadbetter proved a handful on a dry, seaming pitch to take
two wickets before Swanage had scored. Mike Nash and Tim Edgar
slowly repaired the damage before Edgar’s well paced
innings was ended by left arm spinner Priest with the score at
78. The Broadstone spinners continued to exert pressure
through accurate bowling and only an enterprising knock by
Andy Avery took Swanage as far as the low score of 147.
In reply, although Tim Edgar and Peter Kirby bowled mean
spells, Broadstone found runs easy to get at the other end.
When a thunderstorm intervened after thirty four overs,
Broadstone were well ahead of the required run rate and so
were awarded a comfortable victory.
