Cokenach v Aspenden Standon & Puckeridge Saturday League Team on Sat 29 Apr 2006 at 2.00pm
Aspenden Standon & Puckeridge Won 1 wicket

Match report A nail biting opening day for the ASPs as they fought back from 38-5 to sneak victory by 1 wicket. Starting the new season in the field, a fine opening spell from Matt King went unrewarded before Si Lindsay picked up Wardell with a full toss which was expertly snaffled by Potter at fine leg. Clarke went on to make 50 and then retired to let Field enter the fray. The ASPs first change bowlers, Mark Potter and Michael Strange, put a lid on the scoring rate as Cokenach found runs hard to come by. Strange dismissed Johnston aided by a scintillating slip catch by Si Lindsay, whilst Potter had Harry Pearman caught behind. Stone went quickly, bowled by one that kept low from Strange, and then Ford, after kissing his bat on arrival at the crease was done like a kipper by Mark Pankhurst who bowled him all ends up. Skipper John Yates trusted the last 10 overs to his two youngest bowlers, Mark Pankhurst and Lewis Robinson, and they responded superbly, especially Pankhurst, who bowled 5 overs and took 2-10. Cokenach finished on 148-7. In reply Matt Booth and Strange opened the batting in a sedate fashion as the bowling was very tidy. Strange was first to go for 7 after inside edging on to his pads and the ball trickled on to his stumps, Yates soon followed LBW to Ford before Groom holed out and Booth was bowled for 14. Rob Devonshire was adjudged LBW for 2 and ASP were in a hole at 38-5 . This bought Potter and King to the crease and after a scratchy start from Potter he began to smash the bowling to all parts. King kept the scoreboard ticking whilst Potter reached a well deserved half century. Potter was then bowled by Clarke with 12 needed and ASP started to get jittery. King was bowled by Clarke and with Si and Steve Lindsay both going cheaply, it was left to Lewis Robinson and Mark Pankhurst to score the last 8 runs, which they duly did with Robinson smashing the winning runs off mid on in the 39th over to finish with one of the best 10* you will see.
