FOXTON GO DOWN IN OPENING GAME

25 Apr 2011

TUCKER PREMIER DIV. 1


FOXTON 1ST XI 198 (39 overs)    RAMSEY 1ST XI 200-2 (33.5 overs)

Foxton were soon in trouble in their opening fixture at Ramsey. Batting first they found themselves at 44-5 with only Antonnel Atwell showing any resistance with 32. An outstanding partnership then ensued with new recruit Adam Webster (66) and pace bowler Jeffery Douglas (71) enabling them to recover to a competitive 198 all out from 39 overs. Mark Edwards 4-46 and David Carlaw 3-53 being the home sides top bowlers.

 
The visitors took encouragement with Max Bowen dismissing opener Damien Clarke early on, but a superb 106 not out from new South African Travis Townsend ably backed up by ex Godmanchester players Michael Cafferkey (52) and Taylor West 24 not out saw Ramsey ease home needing only 33.5 overs to win by 8 wickets.
