From heroes to zeros in just one short week -
the 1st Xl were battered by nine wickets at high-flying Sawston as they failed
to pick up a single Tucker League point for the first time in six years.
Off the back of last week's 88-run first
victory, left-handed opener Tommy Howgego top-scored with just 21 in a dismal
all out total of 96, in which you could predict the players who would get a
start then perish and those who would just fail. In-form Carl Chapman, having
hit two consecutive half-centuries, was bowled in the third over for 4 and at
53-5 the writing was well and truly on the wall.
In reply, the home side made batting look
relatively easy, with only skipper Chris Ringham taking a wicket.
The 2nd Xl didn't fare much better - losing out
in their opening CCA Senior League Division 1 game to Horseheath by 63 runs at
The Avenue.
The vistors batted first and totalled 172-8
with two of the March elder statesmen - Richard Green and Stuart Arnold - taking
six of the wickets to fall. Off-spinner Green finished with 4-40, with Arnold
returning 2-35.
After tea, former skipper John Wallis stepped
up to open the batting and made 21 as the side slipped to 57-5 and then 109 all
out. Thirteen was also an unlucky number for four of the batsmen.
The 3rd Xl opened their CCA Junior League
Division 2A campaign with a 45-run reversal at Sutton, where the home side had
their tail-enders to thank for victory.
At 76-8 March were well in control only for
home skipper and No 10 batsman James Nuttal to smack 30 not out in the dying
overs to provide his side with a 115-9 target to chase. Those runs made a
massive difference as March were bowled out for 70 - Scotty Welcher (30) and
Jamie Stimpson ( 15) putting on 44 for the fourth wicket.
In fact the only club side to taste victory on
the day was the 4th Xl, who crushed Wisbech 4ths by 10 wickets at the Neale
Wade, in CCA Junior League 4A
Vice-captain Manuj Patel and former skipper
Glen Hulley both picked up three wickets as the visitors were bowled out for
just 73. Veteran batsman Dennis Furnell (44no) and Patel (18no) then knocked off
the runs in 18 overs to complete back-to-back wins.
