 Bobbing Court  

v

 Rodmersham

 

Match Type Kent League
Venue Bobbing Court
Date Sat 6th July 2001
Result Bobbing Court (16pts) beat Rodmersham (1pt) by 8 wkts

Rodmersham were put at a serious disadvantage when they lost the toss in this local derby which started in extremely wet conditions. A number of injudicious shots on a pitch which initially yielded considerable movement and variation in bounce did nothing to aid their already difficult cause. Skipper Lee Gregory (34) demonstrated how to play the conditions but it was a matter of to little to late. Richard Gower was grateful to some very accommodating batsmen who gave him figures of 4 for 14.

Batting on a pitch which had lost much of its earlier venom, Bobbing had no problems in strolling to an 8 wicket victory. Richard Gower again starred with a classy 51 and was ably assisted by Mark Heather (54*).
