Match report by Paul Hungerford

This was an excellent performance by the U13s and our first win on a grass wicket.

Batting first they put on 91 for 9 with a fine captain’s innings of 28 by Stan Rolls. Ably assisted by knocks of 17 by Matt Crouch and Steven Faulkner. The running between the wickets was a vast improvement on previous weeks.

In reply Rowner started well, largely due to a well played 30* by opener R. Griffith’s. After being very handily place at the half way stage on 36 for 0, their innings faded towards the end after Griffith’s mandatory retirement. Rowner eventually finished on 67 for 6. Stan Rolls (4 overs, 1 maiden, 2 for 8) pegged them back in the middle overs and Dan Rayson picked up 3 for 11 from his 4 to seal the win for Portchester. In his only over and the final one of the match, Josh Hillard bowled a wicket maiden.

Portchester U13s v Burridge B U13s – 11.06.08

League Match played at Burridge

Portchester U13s 62 for 6 (20 ov) lost to Burridge U13s 66 for 6 (15.2 ov)

Burridge U13s won by 4 wickets

The visit to Burridge found the Colts playing their second match on a grass wicket.

Again the batsmen struggled with only Harry Robbins (11) and Matt Crouch with a run a ball 20* reaching double figures. Not for the first time, extras were our top score with 38, which highlights how important it is to bowl straight in these games. Our final total was 82 for 4 – around 20 runs short of a competitive total with many singles missed and we only managed to hit 3 fours off the bat despite the small boundaries.

In reply Burridge raced to 26 of the first 4 overs, having already hit 3 boundaries. However after Stan Rolls (3 overs 17 for 1) made the breakthrough we started to make inroads and at some stage it looked like we could bowl Burridge out. No.5 B. Cotterell however held things together with 19, including a 6 and was supported by F. Colmer who saw his side home in the 16th over with 13*. Burridge finished on 83 for 6. Matt was the pick of the bowlers, taking 3 for 14 off his 4 overs, George Summers also picked up a wicket and another fell to a run out.

A good fielding and bowling display, with 18 extras conceded. Just not enough runs though on a decent wicket and small outfield. In particular the running was poor, which is an area we will look to improved upon for the next match.

Portchester U13s v Fareham & Crofton B U13s – 01.06.08

League Match played at Bath Lane

Portchester U13s (4pts) 63 for 8 (20 ov) lost to Fareham & Crofton B U13s (17pts) 64 for 6 (15.3 ov)

Fareham & Crofton B U13s won by 4 wickets

Playing on grass for the first time, the U13s struggled on a slow, wet wicket at Bath Lane due to the overnight rain.

Choosing to bat first, the Portchester innings never got going with nobody getting past 6 and not a single boundary hit. Extras was our best player on the day with 34 to help us to a total of 63 for 8 from our 20 overs.

Fareham chased the total down for the loss of 6 wickets with 5 overs to spare, despite the efforts of Ash Zee (4 overs, 1 maiden, 2 for 16) and particularly Stan Rolls who bowled very well to record figures of 3 for 9 off his 4 overs. Opener T. Brooks got Fareham off to a good start with 20 and A. Martins saw them home in the 15th over with 29*.

So a disappointing batting performance by the U13s, but an understandable given the alien conditions. Hopefully we will learn from our mistakes from this match and put improve for our next game on a grass wicket.

Portchester U13s v Fareham & Crofton B U13s – 22.05.08

League Match played at Cams School

Portchester U13s (20pts) 102 for 4 (15 ov) beat Fareham & Crofton B U13s (5pts) 101 all out (19.4 ov)

Portchester U13s won by 6 wickets

Match report by Paul Hungerford

Portchester won the toss and elected to bat first. The innings got of to a familiar start with both Sam Stainton and Matt Crouch (4 overs for 6 runs) bowling tight spells. Sam made the breakthrough in the 5th over with only 9 on the scoreboard. Fareham played well in the middle of the innings though to get back on track, helped largely by Luke Hearnden’s innings of 34*. 27 extras, 21 in wides also helped their cause and they made steady progress after the slow start. A spate of wickets fell towards the end of the innings as Fareham looked to push on. They finished on 101 all out with 2 balls remaining. Shaun Johnston the main wicket taker, taking 3 for 17 off his 2.4 overs and Fareham’s Cransow playing for us took 2 for 4 runs off his only over. Sam took a wicket in his final over to finish with fine figures of 2 for 9 off his 4 overs. Again the fielding is worth mentioning and was a high standard throughout.

102 looked a tough total to chase, however Matt and Ashley Zee batted very positively at the top of the innings, hitting boundaries and running well and were on 51 when Ash fell for 9 at the start of the 5th over! The innings calmed down after the frenetic start and we chased the runs down in the 15th over. Sam batted well with 14* to see the side home. 49 extras helped us greatly and Matt played a fine Captains knock in Stan’s absence, retiring on 30* in the 8th over with 6 boundaries to his name.

Well played the Colts in what was certainly their best performance of the season so far.

Portchester U13s v Rowner U13s – 11.05.08

League Match played at Cams School

Portchester U13s (10pts) 77 all out (19.4 ov) TIED with Rowner U13s (12pts) 77 for 6 (20 ov)

Match Tied

Match report by Paul Hungerford

On another beautiful morning at the School, Portchester U13s found themselves batting first. Nobody got themselves ‘in’ and as a result the innings never really got going and the run-rate remained at around 4 runs an over from start to finish. Ash Zee opening the innings played well, top scoring with 15, Stan Rolls (10) was the only other batsmen to reach double figures. 27 extras helped us reach 77 all out with 2 balls of the innings remaining.

The Rowner reply was very similar to Sarisbury’s a week earlier. Sam Stainton and Matt Crouch (4 overs 10 for 1) again both took wickets in their first overs. Rowner’s number 3, J. Pannell played well to take his side to within touching distance of the win and when he retired on 30*, they had taken their score to 70 for 3 off 17 overs. Just 8 required off 3 overs to win. Ash held his nerve in the 18th, conceding just the 2 runs. Sam Stainton bowled the penultimate over and picked up a hat-trick! Matt taking two fine catches, pouncing in quickly on balls lobbed up to the in-field. 3 runs came off the over, to leave Sam with fine figures of 4 overs, 13 runs for 4 wickets. So with 1 over left Rowner required 3 runs to win. Captain Stan (4 overs for 9 runs) held his nerve and bowled full and straight and forced the batsmen to hit through the field. Only 1 run was scored off the first 5 balls, so Rowner needed 1 off the last ball to tie and 2 to win. A great comeback was on the cards! However a scrambled single (Charlie’s stump hitting heroics for the 2nds the day before could not be repeated) got Rowner a tie, which was probably a fair result in the end.

Congratulations to both teams for providing us with an entertaining game of cricket with a fantastic finish!

Portchester U13s v Sarisbury B U13s – 04.05.08

League Match played at Cams School

Portchester U13s (15pts) - 91 for 4 (20 ov) beat Sarisbury B U13s (4pts) – 76 for 5 (20 ov)

Portchester U13s won by 15 runs

Match report by Paul Hungerford

Congratulations to the U13s who chalked up a win in only their second outing as a team.

We won the toss and chose to bat on a lovely sunny morning at the School. Sam Stainton played well for his 23* accelerating the scoring after we were on 37 at the half-way point, to take our total to a competitive 91 for 4 off the 20 overs. 37 extras also helped out greatly, Matt Crouch and Stan Rolls chipped in with 10 and 9 respectively.

Sarisbury’s reply got off to a poor start when Sam (4 overs 6 for 2 wickets) any Matt (4 overs 8 for 1 wicket) removed both openers for 0 in the first 2 overs. Ash Zee also bowled well taking 1 wicket and conceding just 10 runs off his 4 overs. Davis led the Sarisbury reply with a well made 30* before his mandatory retirement. Sarisbury didn’t really threaten and finished on 76 for 5 -15 runs short of the Portchester total. A huge difference being the extras – we gave away 13 to Sarisbury’s 37. Well done to the Colts who again bowled straight and fielded well.

Portchester U13s v Portsmouth Community B U13s – 28.04.08

League Match played at Drayton Park

Portchester U13s (4pts) 25 for 6 (18 ov) lost to Portsmouth Community B U13s (17pts) 94 for 8 (18 ov)

Portsmouth Community won by 69 runs

Match report by Paul Hungerford

Portsmouth Community won the toss and decided to bat first on a typically dark and cold April night to greet this set Portchester Colts their first competitive match together.

Portsmouth Community started well with a well made innings of 29 by Corbett and were looking good for a big score on 70 of 11 overs. However a spirited fielding and bowling display restricted Portsmouth Community to 94 of their 18 overs. George Summers (1 over 4 for 2 wickets) and Matt Crouch (2 overs 1 for) bowled well at the end. There were also some fine catches by Matt in the slips and also K.Johnson (who Portsmouth Community kindly let field for us to make up the numbers). With the match reduced to 18 overs a side because of the bad light, 94 looked a competitive total but the team did well in their first ever outing, bowling straight and fielding well.

In reply we could only manage 25 for 6 with the inexperience of the team showing, particularly with running between the wickets. Ash Zee top scored with 7 and Daniel Rayson and George did well at the end facing Portsmouth Community’s quickest bowler as the light began to fade. We clearly fell way short but everybody went away feeling positive that the team could do well particularly with the standard of bowling & fielding on display and the effort, which could not be faulted.

Thanks to all everyone who turned up to support the Colts and to Portsmouth Community for their help on the evening.
