Season Results
May 25 2002
Date and place of Match: Saturday May 25 th, at Home.
League: NSA Saturday Division 1.
Scoreboard: Bournemouth and Old Bournemouthians 70
( R.Norman 6 - 38. )
Swanage 71 - 0
( C.Wells 49*. )
Result: Swanage won by 10 wickets.
Details:
Ryan Norman devastated Bournemouth’s Saturday
side with a six wicket haul to follow up his five wickets
against their Sunday side last week. Bowling with rhythm and
pace, Norman regularly passed the outside edge. In his fine
twelve over spell, he knocked the stumps over five times and
had his other victim caught at slip. In support, Aussie Craig
Matthews again bowled a mean spell as first change to earn
figures of 2 - 11, while Peter Kirby needed just ten balls to
get the final two wickets.
The pitch was still slow and low when Swanage batted but
when Bournemouth strayed to the legside, Craig Wells hit high
and hard. His aggressive innings contained no fewer than five
sixes. In support, Nick Clark contributed a six over long off
as Swanage raced to victory in less than nine overs.

Swanage under fifteen Eleven 61 - 4

)
Result: a tie.
Details:
With nine of the side being in the under thirteen age
group, Swange did well to compete to the last in an exciting
twenty over game. Milton danger man J.Fifield mauled Sam
Thompson’s opening over, but Thompson came back in
style to bowl the other opener off the last ball. After Paul
Hyland bowled Fifield at the other end, wickets fell regularly
to these two bowlers. Then Christopher Kirby and Daniel Avery
bowled accurately to finish the innings eight overs early.
Swanage did not have the striking power of the Milton
batsmen but, after losing both opening batsmen for nought,
Darren Tomes dug in against skilled leg break bowling from
Fifield. Helped by Highland, Kirby and Daniel Lowe, Tomes
steered the team towards the Milton total in a fine
captain’s innings. However, four runs were still
needed for victory off the last over. Amid rising excitement,
two were still needed off the last ball but Swanage could only
manage a bye to tie an excellent game.
