U14's through to Hampshire Cup Final

05 Feb 2007

P&S 135 - 5 (R.Jacobs 48, R.Evans 19*)
Locks Heath 105 - 4 (R. Jacobs 2-26)

P&S are through to their second successive Cup final but were made to fight all the way against previously unbeaten Locks Heath. On a fast and bouncy mat the Locks Heath bowlers took 4 early wickets to leave us struggling but with Rob Evans giving Rob Jacobs valuble support we recovered well to reach 135 - 5.
We needed an accurate start from our seam bowlers, Alex Fletcher, Jake Peach and Joe Collings-Wells, who were all superb and at the halfway point Locks Heath only had 45 on the board. Rob took two early wickets with his leggies which put us in the driving seat and a couple of late run outs saw us home by 30 runs.
