OWA vs Stratford, 4 July 2008

We had arranged an OW16 versus a Stratford side which would include extra OWs.

OW Stratford Combined XI won the toss and batted first. Wood (1-33) and Leonard (1-25) opened the bowling and restricted the openers to 30 off the first 10 overs. Wilson (1-32), Kroeger (2-42), T Rigby (0-40) and Mather (1-32) also bowled well.

Catches were taken by Leonard (Malkin for 26), Chhibber (Deverill-Smith for 20), Williams (Harcourt for 42) and Kroeger caught and bowled R Rigby for 11.  Wood scored a solid 58 and OW Stratford XI finished on 216-7. 

In reply, OWA started cautiously after losing Whiteside (bowled by Davidtz). Chhibber (50) and Crockert (37) put on 83 for the second wicket (22 overs). Leonard chipped in with 49 (stumped Harcourt, bowled Russell).  OWA were all out for 192 in 39.1 overs.  OW Stratford Combined XI won by 24 runs.
