Evening League vs Centurions

24 May 2004

St Ouen's for 4 in 12 overs

Centurions for 3 in 12 overs

After St Ouen's openers Jamie Brewster was caught brilliantly by Morrison at fly slip and Gary Kynman received his second LBW decision in almost as many days, Ward Jenner (56) and Mark Tribe (41) put on 100 for the third wicket. Although boundaries were hard to come by due to the enthusiastic fielding, the St Ouen's number 3 and 4 ran everything that was available.  Both fell late on to great catches by Matt Smith on the deep mid wicket boundary off the bowling of Jez McKeever who finished with 2 for 29.  Peter Brookes had dismissed both St Ouen's openers and had figures of 2 for 24 off 3 overs.

In reply Centurions found runs hard to come by against the experience of Barry Middleton 0 for 18 off 3 and the height of Mo Kemp 0 for 27. Although, as Centurions did not loose wickets they always stood a chance of increasing the tempo against the 1st changes bowlers.  Leg spinner Stuart Ramskill stood forward and immediately turned the ball square.  He took the 3 wickets to fall for just 23 runs and was supported by Gareth Jeffreys. The Centurions first 3, B Davis, Danny Bertram and Matt Smith all scored over 25 but the run rate increased and St Ouen's closed out the match with 21 runs to spare.
