Season Results
May 4 2002
Date and place of Match: Saturday May 4 th, Away. League:
NSA Saturday Division 1.
Scoreboard: Swanage 163
( N.Clark 76, D.Rodbourne 30, G.Watson 23. M. Harper 4 -
20, R.Dunning 4 - 48. )
Compton House 160 - 3
( M.Harper 50*, R.Dunning 48*. )
Result: Swanage lost by 7 wickets.
Details:
Swanage were given first use of a slow pitch in their first
game of the season at Compton House. After a steady start 2
wickets fell to catches in one over from J Buxton, leaving the
Swans in a spot of bother. Dave Rodbourne mounted a recovery
with opener Nick Clark as they put on 60 for the third wicket.
After Rodbourne was caught in the twenty third over for a
useful 30, skipper Guy Watson continued the good work as he
and Clark hit powerfully to take the score to 151 for 3.
Disaster then struck as the Swans lost their last 7 wickets
for just 12 runs. Clarks gutsy knock was ended by M. Harper
who, along with the left arm spin of R Dunning, proved too
much for Swanage’s lower order. With a score of 163,
Swanage were about 30 runs short of what they would have
liked.
In reply, Compton House got off to a cracking start,
reaching 60 in just 10 overs as they profited from some loose
Swanage bowling. Despite two fine catches in the deep from
Craig Wells, Swans were never able to stem the flow of runs.
Taking wickets was their only hope and a combination of some
bad luck and their weakened attack meant they were unable to
do this. A partnership of 90 from R. Dunning and M. Simon was
full of lusty blows to the leg side and ensured Compton house
raced to their target in just thirty overs. Swanage will need
an improved performance if they are to beat Marnhull at Days
Park on Saturday.

Date and place of Match: Sunday May 5 th, Away. League: NSA
Sunday Division 3.
Scoreboard: Ashmore 217 - 7
( Harvey 91*, Kendall 38, S.Diment 27, Powis 27*. R.Perry 3
- 18.)
Swanage First Eleven 94
( S.Diment 6 - 28.)
Result: Swange lost by 123 runs.
Details:
Harvey initially played the anchor role for Ashmore on a
slow, spongy pitch. Watchful on the front foot, he later
opened out to power the short ball to all areas of the ground
in a match winning innings. Richard Perry dismissed three of
Ashmore’s danger men in a fine spell of swing
bowling up the hill.
In reply, the Swanage batsmen were no match for Sam Diment’s
pace bowling. Nevertheless, this weak side took heart at the
determination shown with both bat and ball.

Date and place of Match: Sunday May 5 th, at Home. League:
NSA Sunday Division 8.
Scoreboard: Pimperne 154
( I.Scholes 50, M.Barrass 37. T.White 3 - 17, D.White 3 -
38, D.Haines 3 - 44.)
Swanage Second Eleven 155 - 2
( P.Dyer 60*, D.Haines 57*. )
Result: Swanage won by 8 wickets.
Details:
Once Terry and Daniel White had disposed of I.Scholes and
M.Barrass, it was all Swanage as the Whites and spinner David
Haines took three wickets apiece. Then an unbroken partnership
of 111 between Peter Dyer and David Haines led a Swanage side,
which contained many youngsters, to a satisfying victory.
