Park Hill 246 for 3
Old Isleworthians 214 for 8
Park Hill returned to winning ways on Saturday in this entertaining Kookaboro-Fordham League Division Four game against Old Isleworthians.
Having won the toss and elected to bat, captain Mark Goldsmith himself led the assault on the visitor's bowling with a superb 88 not out. He was well supported throughout the innings by Blake (33) and Ward (35) but it was not until Eddie Andrews arrived at the wicket that a total beyond 200 appeared probable. Andrews hit a quick fire 69 not out in the closing overs to allow Park Hill to total 246-3.
The Old Isleworthians innings was dominated by the innings of Kasir who scored an impressive 76. While Kasir was at the wicket it seemed as if the unlikely would be possible and that the target would be reached. However, the removal of Kasir by Jay Ward halted any hopes of the visitors. Following this wickets fell regularly with Neil Cozens taking his first league wicket for Park Hill, and the innings closing on 214-8.
Ceraf 217 for 2
Park Hill 117 for 3
Park Hill's Sunday team continued its recent unbeaten run this week with a well-earned draw against Ceraf.
Having won the toss and elected to bat the visitors scored runs at a good rate. First, Osborne (38) and Shea (72) put the bowlling to the sword and they were followed by both Stratton (52) and Blanshard (25).
Even the tight bowling of the veteran Paul Hoole could not stop Ceraf's progress and the home side eventually declared on 217-2.
The Park Hill innings got off to a poor start with Chris Beckett claiming three early wickets to put Ceraf in a strong position.
However, they were not able to capitalise on this as Jeremy Richens (49) and Andy Goldsmith (20) defended well to ensure that an away win was not to occur.
The match ended in a draw with Park Hill on 117-3.
