Fifteen-year-old Toby Nulty produced a good performance with both bat and
ball and picked up the prized scalp of Cambridgeshire all-rounder James
Williams in the 56-run defeat at Harecroft Road.
The youngseamer had Williams caught for three during his impressive 3-17
spell and then made a useful 18 at No8.
In the 40-over fixture, the home side got off to a flying start – cracking
122-2 off the first 25 overs. They then went on to make 165-8, with March
3rd Xl skipper Matt Hubbard again performing well with a 2-9 spell.
But in reply, the visitors found the going very hard and were bowled out for
just 109, of which Wisbech contributed 31 wides! Nulty top-scored, with
David Haslegrave making 14.

March 2nd Xl v Doddington
Sunday, April 24, 2011
Several of the club's promising youngsters were given a useful workout at
The Avenue on Sunday, when Doddington won this friendly fixture by 31 runs.
The visitors were boosted by a splendid second wicket partnership of 132
runs between skipper Antony Bamford (74no) and Harry Vaheesen (82) - the
latter, one of three wickets taken by opening seamer Callum Young.
His pace partner Jordan Morgan also bowled well as Doddington closed on
202-7.

Pyle (20) and Dan Martell (13) scoring against their former club.

March 2nd Xl v Sawston Saturday, April 30, 2011
James
Harradine, who played the opening Tucker League game, was deprived of his
maiden club century when he was caught on 99 in the 2nd Xl's convincing win
away to Sawston 2nd Xl.
March
rattled up 229-6 in their 40 overs, with Harradine crashing 20 boundaries.
In fact, he only scored three singles on his way to a quick-fire
half-century.
He fell to a low
catch at extra-cover just one short of three figures,
having shared in a fourth wicket stand of 83 with skipper John Wallis, who
hit 34.
Ben Pyle kept the
momentum going when he cracked a run a minute during his knock of 38.
The
home side, who had their new pavilion on show, were bowled out for 121 with
the ageless Stuart Arnold picking a ball up for the first time this year
taking 6-19 off eight overs.
The evergreen seamer
exploited the green wicket and was backed up by Pyle's 2-15 and a brisk
opening spell from Jordan Morgan.
