•Cranborne sealed a thrilling victory over Studland after Phil Park and
Dave Coy produced a match-winning eighth-wicket partnership. With their team slumping to 98 for seven (Dan Loader 49) in pursuit of the 191-run target, Park (40) and
Coy (42*) came good to earn the verdict.
A great win that day as a lot of our blokes that I play with on a Sat played against us on the Sun.
Also from todays Bournemouth Echo:
WINTON skipper Luke Phillips tasted defeat at the hands of leaders Cranborne – and then tipped Ferndown Wayfarers to win the Division One title.
Cranborne’s comfortable six-wicket victory over newly-promoted Winton at Penny Lane saw them maintain a narrow advantage at the summit.
Chris Dobson (28) and Charl Van Wyk (28) were the only batsmen to make notable contributions as Winton were restricted to a modest 144.
All-rounder Oli Hand (4-39) and evergreen Phil Park (3-30) took wickets at regular intervals to prevent Winton from building any momentum.
And Hand (38), Adam Beattie (34*) and Carl Poore (28) all chipped in as Cranborne passed their victory target with relative ease at 145 for six.
However, despite watching Cranborne register their sixth win of the season, Phillips believes Ferndown Wayfarers will be the ones to catch.
He said: “Although we haven’t played them yet, I believe Ferndown Wayfarers will win the title. I think they have got the best equipped squad and will prove to be the best team in the league.”
Phillips, who has seen Winton climb through the divisions to the top flight, added: “We have found it a lot harder to take wickets at this level because the batting is of a much higher standard. But we have lost a couple of bowlers since last season and that has made a big difference.”
I skipper on a Sunday and we are currently top, we played Winton on Sunday and as you can read, we smashed 'em! Think their skipper may have been a little disgruntled
