Weekend League Games

The 1st XI made it 3 wins in a row with a 98 run win away to Langley 1st XI. Langley won the toss and put Park into bat and the move looked like it might be a good one for them when Alec Butcher (1) was out early with the score on 7 for 1. However, Sam Barnes showed his strength as an opening bat working firstly with Jonny Wales (5), then Joe Stimpson (10) and finally Michael Dunning to move the score onto 68 for 4 when he was out caught, scoring 38. If Langley hoped this was the big wicket that could change the game in their favour, they hadn’t banked on the depth of batting Park have had this season. Michael was joined at the crease by Phill Amatiello and between them they put on an 80-run partnership only broken when Michael was out caught, scoring a superb 41. Phill now partnered by James Hendry continued to punish Langley’s bowling attack, scoring a brilliant 75 before he was also caught with the score now on a 196 for 6. Three quarters of Phill’s score was made up boundaries, including 4 x fours and 7 x sixes. His partnership with Michael Dunning and then James Hendry added a game changing 128 runs. James (14 n.o.) and Daniel Austin (5 n.o.) finished the inning for Park taking them to 202 for 6 after their 40 overs.
With a good score on the board for the bowlers to defended they were able to take the attack to Langley’s batsmen with the ball and this they did with Sam Barnes (7-54-3) and Mark Hamblett (9-28-3) both striking regularly to remove the top 6 batsmen for 85 runs on the scoreboard. The bowling change of Jonny Wales (4-9-2) and Michael Dunning (3-6-1) continued to work for Park with another 3 wickets to take them to the brink of the win before Ben Birchenall (0.2-0-1) took two balls to take the final wicket to end Langley’s innings on 104 all out in the 24th over. It was a good win for Park ahead of their top of the table clash next Saturday when Park 1st XI take on Maritime down at the Rec where they will hope to put on a similar performance as seem against Langley to challenge Maritime to the league title.
The 2nd XI lost their second consecutive home game losing by 3 wickets to Neston 4th XI in a surprising close but low scoring game down at the Rec. Park lost the toss and were put into bat. In good batting conditions the Park batsmen were not able to get onto top of the Neston bowlers, with openers Jayant Kumar (8) and Alex Unwin (9) going cheaply. Tony King (13) and Rishad Ali (19) rallied the innings batting at 3 and 4 but the lower order Park batsmen struggled to add to the scoreboard particular against the bowling of Neston bowler Ben Donelan (6-14-6) with only Mike Begbie (4), Jonny Reissing (7), Ryan Thornton (4) and Will Pimblatt (6) getting any runs. Park finished on 78 all out off 23.1 overs.
Hopes of a Park win where given a significant boast when Alex Unwin (10-25-3) dismissed Neston’s top 3 batsmen for only 8 runs between them. With Rishad Ali (9-20-1), Bryan Shingler (9-11-1) and Will Pimblatt (7-9-1) all chipping in with a key wicket each, the game was swung slightly in Winnington’s favour when with Neston reduced to 41 for 6. With some tight bowling backed up with good fielding Park really gave themselves a good chance of pulling off the win when the game could go either way with only 6 overs left to go. Unfortunately, despite a wicket for Daniel Deakin (5-6-1), Park were unable to get the last few wickets needed to secure the win or stop the Neston batsmen scoring the runs they needed. Neston finished on 79 for 7 in the 36th over with the Park skipper, Jonny Reissing, left wondering ‘what if’ Park had been able to post a score up around the 100+ mark to give his bowlers more to work with having seen them put in such a good effort to defend the 78 scored and taking Neston close with only 3 wickets and 4 overs left. Next week Park 2nd XI travel to Appleton 2nd XI where they will hope to take the positives from Saturday’s game to get back into winning ways.
