Season Results
July 20 2002
Date and place of Match: Saturday July 20 th, at Home.
League: NSA Saturday Division 1.
Scoreboard: Swanage 213 - 7
( N.Clark 90, G.Watson 32. A.Nurton 3 - 39.)
Sherborne 214 - 6
( A.Nurton 70, R.Carter 48., M.Tanswell 20*. G.Watson 4 -
34.)
Result: Swanage lost by 4 wickets.
Details:
After an early cameo from Craig Wells, Nick Clark and Guy
Watson patiently built the Swanage innings. B.Smith, Andrew
Nurton and D.Miles all bowled well to limit the scoring rate
until Watson was out in the thirty second over with the score
at 136. However, Clark was now driving gloriously through the
covers and starting to dominate the bowling. The persevering
Nurton bowled him in the fortieth over for an impressive
ninety. The other batsmen did not manage to increase the tempo
so that the final total appeared adequate, but not impressive.
Guy Watson disposed of both openers in a good opening spell
but the Swanage bowling at the other end was so poor that
Andrew Nurton and R.Carter scored with ease at seven an over
in a crucial third wicket stand of 132. When Craig Wells
bowled Carter with the score at 167, Swanage sniffed victory
but a crucial catch from Nurton off the same bowler was
spilled at mid off soon afterwards. After playing an excellent
innings, Nurton was eventually dismissed but it was too late
to affect the result. Swanage were left ruing the fact that
the extras, which they had conceded, contributed more than a
quarter of Sherborne’s runs, which had severely
limited their chances of winning a good game of cricket.

Date and place of Match: Sunday July 21 st, at Home.
League: NSA Sunday Division 3.
Scoreboard: Swanage First Eleven 294 - 3
( N.Clark 117, J.Harris 80, T.Holland 22*.)
Bournemouth and Old Bournemouthians 85 - 8
( R.Norman 4 - 15.)
Result: Swanage won by 209 runs.
Details:
Openers Nick Clark and James Harris were soon piling up the
runs against an understrength Bournemouth side. Both gave a
masterful display of driving and running between the wickets
as they put together a massive 219 run opening partnership.
When Clark finally went, Harris and Theo Holland led the
charge to the huge total. S.Potter was Bournemouth’s
best bowler, getting a wicket with his deceptive slower ball
in the last over.
In reply, a fine spell of quick bowling from Ryan Norman
ensured that Bournemouth’s innings never got going.
He was supported by quality catching by keeper Harris and the
infielders. Number 5, Chris Charlton, stonewalled for thirty
five overs for his 17*, putting on 45 with R.Coombs but failed
to obtain the first batting point. Overall,
Swanage’s enthusiastic side never let up and
deserved this huge win.

Ashley King, who figured in good partnerships with Tom Yeates
and Sean McLaney. Their efforts gained maximum batting points
and almost reached the 200 mark.
