Knebworth held on to win a good even game. Batting first they made steady progress until a series of run outs slowed the momentum. Captain Matthew Gill and Joe Coulson steadied the ship to post a competitive total. The highlight of the innings, Matthews six over mid-wicket. There were wickets for Finn, Evans and Devine.
The Datchworth reply was behind the run rate for a long period until Geoff Clapp opened his shoulders for an excellent 20. He was bowled off the last ball of the innings with Datchworth coming up 11 runs short.
Rachel Clark deserves mention for Knebworth with 2 overs 1 wicket for no runs to add to a classy 14 when batting.
Several players on both sides made really decent contributions. |
