Cadnam throw it away
Trevor Phillips - 24 January 2002
Cadnam wasted a great opportunity to go to the top of the New Forest Indoor League as they collapsed against title rivals Lymington. Having skittled their opponents for a measly 82 (Matt Molloy 32), Cadnam had progressed to 65 for 3, and with plenty of overs remaining looked set for victory.
However, Richard Bull's run out set the alarm bells ringing, and in the following over ex-Lymington wicketkeeper Mike Caffyn was caught and bowled by Trevor Phillips for 27. The final wicket fell just two balls later as Lymington sealed an unlikely 13 run victory.
Paultons' wretched season continued as they were beaten by 4 wickets by Esso. Scot Weaver's unbeaten 25 was the feature of Paultons' 97 for 4. Andy Collins then took 2 wickets, but it was to no avail as Andy Parratt (25) guided Esso home in the final over.
There was a bizarre conclusion to the Division Two match between Ringwood and Pylewell Park. Chasing Ringwood's 125 for 4, Pylewell were on the verge of victory when a collision between batsman Peter Sturmey and a fielder led to Ringwood conceding the match.
Cadnam Seconds look set for promotion to Division One and underlined this with a 34 run victory over Lymington Seconds. Cadnam - the only unbeaten side in all three divisions - totalled 134 for 5. Paul Jewar (55no) was once again the star of the innings and he received good support from Nick Dunning (30) and Alan Dunning (20).
Tony Thorp (25no) and Tommy Carter (23) batted well for Lymington, but tight bowling, particularly from Alan Dunning (2-22), restricted them to 99 for 3.
The race for the Division Three title is hotting up with just two points separating the top three teams. Bashley Seconds moved into third place thanks to the 6 wicket defeat of Milford-on-Sea Seconds.
The Seasiders had struggled to 79 all out with Dave Morris and Stuart Waite both taking two wickets. Waite then led the reply with an unbeaten 26 as Bashley cruised home in the eighth over.
The final match of the day saw Pennington register only their second win of the season. Opponents Esso Fourths were dismissed for just 83 (Kevin Mitchell 32) with James Clarke taking 2 for 20. Shaun Hilton gave the Oilmen hope with 3 for 15, but Jerry Rickman proved impossible to dislodge as Pennington reached their target with one over and two wickets to spare.
