Result: Swanage lost by 6 wickets.

Details:

Craig Wells and Nick Clark made a steady start against accurate Beaminster bowling on a very wet pitch and outfield. With the score at 43, outswing bowler R.Baker was brought into the attack. He immediately deceived Wells into chipping a catch to mid off. Nick Clark now started to prosper, hitting leg spinner S.Rowe for a straight six over the pavilion. However, he was caught behind with the score at 87 from off spinner Therington’s quicker ball. Baker and Therington continued to bowl well and pinned back Swanage’s middle order. Despite good contributions from Andy Croft and Craig Matthews, Swanage failed to look for singles and ended up about twenty runs short of what they wanted.

With the sun now shining, life was easier for the Beaminster openers C.Park and M.David. They batted patiently against steady bowling, putting on 66 before first change Ian Perry despatched them both. Left hander J.Watts now assumed control and, despite an excellent second spell from Ryan Norman, eased Beaminster towards victory in the thirty seventh over.
