Clyst Hydon II vs Exmouth III (8/8/09)

2009-08-27T13:21:00Z

Clyst IIs moved to within just 3 points of leaders Uplyme in the 'D' East promotion battle with a comprehensive 102-run demolition of Exmouth IIIs. Si Holmes (30) was the backbone Clyst's 157ao, whilst K.Short (5-14) and E.Marks (3-29) both bowled well for the visitors.

Veteran Clyst seamer Chunky Dowell then rolled back the years with a vintage display of bowling (5-22) to skittle Exmouth out for just 55. Matt Harris supported well from the other end with 3-18.

News that Uplyme had slipped to a surprise defeat against mid-table Kentisbeare IIs means that the title will probably now be decided in a winner-takes-all showdown between Uplyme and Clyst (at Uplyme) in a fortnight's time.

CLYST HYDON LOSE AGAIN

Well Clyst Hydon could not ask for a worse season as they were defeated by Shobrooke Park for the 6th time in succession.

But with a depleted bowling attack the home team cruised to victory scoring 193 for 2, James top scoring with 86 no but was dropped 4 times.
Will Greig and Lewis took 1 wicket each.

Clyst Hydon 189-5 (I Sutton 26, P Harris 53, C Lewis 37no; extras 40; J Dollow 2-36, M Goodman 2-32),

Clyst Hydon 2nd XI vs Kentisbeare 2nd XI

2009-07-31T09:43:00Z

Clyst IIs slipped to a disappointing defeat at neighbours Kentisbeare II. After being asked to bat first on a damp track, the visitors were soon in deep trouble at 48-5 against disciplined swing bowling from Harry Howe (2-37) and Richard Durrant (2-27). Paul Garnham (28) & Mark Doyle (44) then fought back with a sixth wicket stand of 66, before the Clyst tail wagged with Neil Chambers (28no) and Chunky Dowell (11no) adding an unbeaten 36 for the ninth wicket. A total of 194-8 seemed a good effort from the middle and lower order.

Kentisbeare made light work of the chase initially with Chris Gillett (65) & Gary Farley (26) nearly over the 100 mark before both openers went in quick succession. At one end, the home side were losing wickets rapidly against a superb spell from Bruce Wilkinson (4-38), who was still suffering the after-effects of an earlier local anaesthetic! Chambers also chipped in with 2-61.

But at the other end, Howe was blasting an unbeaten half century at a strike-rate of nearly 200 to see Kentisbeare home with 3 wickets - and plenty of overs - to spare.

Kentisbeare II (19pts), Clyst Hydon II (7pts)

Clyst Hydon 2nd XI vs Woodbury 2nd XI

2009-07-31T09:42:00Z

Full credit to Clyst IIs and Woodbury IIs for defying the elements on another miserable Saturday and agreeing to play a shortened game despite the very wet conditions underfoot.

Clyst were batting and had reached 42-1 when the first rain arrived. After a lengthy delay, the teams were just getting ready to go out again when a second downpour followed. Many sides would have conceded defeat to mother nature at this point, but Clyst skipper Mike Glenny and Woodbury counterpart Kevin Miller agreed to wait over an hour for the puddles to clear and make a final attempt at continuing the match!

Clyst reached 173-7 from their 32 overs, opener Si Holmes top scoring with 40 and good support from Rob O'Connell (28), Glenny (22) and Hefin Wood (20). Miller took 2-34 for the visitors.

Woodbury started well with opener David Allen making 42, but decided to shut up shop after collapsing to 89-6. Chalky White (20), Miller (17no) and Mickey Beare (18no) helped to pick up two battings points as Woodbury finished on 128-6. Chris Holmes (2-28) was the pick of the bowlers for Clyst.

Clyst Hydon 1st XI vs Kingsbridge

2009-07-31T09:39:00Z

CLYST HYDON LOSE AGAIN BY 1 WICKET

CLYST Hydon lost by one wicket in a nail-biter with Kingsbridge that worsened their chances of dodging an immediate return to the C Division.
Clyst, the side promoted with Kingsbridge this season, were all out for 176 after the bottom half of their order disappeared to left-armer James Fraser.
Fraser, back with Kingsbridge after a stint with Sandford and a break from the game, came back into the attack when Clyst were 162 for five. He took four wickets in two overs as the home side collapsed.
Fraser finished with five for 24 while Josh Dorey claimed for four 24. Only three Clyst batsmen made decent totals: Clinton Lewis (57), Dean Reed (26) and Matt Fitt (21).
A good start was made by Reed and Fitt, but when they were dismissed, the Trude, Sutton,Sercombe, Glenny,Hodgin, and Sykess were all blown away by good quick bowling from Fraser, with Lewis hanging on there for his 57 and was one of the last one out trying to get the score up to 200, he hit 5 sixes and 3 fours in his 57 and was bowled by Fraser trying to cut a straight ball
Kingsbridge found runs every bit as hard to come by and as Kev Sercombe (4-46) and Lewis (2-36) worked through the order.
Skipper Adam Buckland (53) got runs at the top of the order, but was dropped at point by Glenny when he was on zero and Chris Bowles made 38 in the middle before he was run out.
At 165 for eight the game was in the balance. Dorey and Chris Browning got the scores level, laving Ian Hargreaves to come in with one needed, and a dreaful over from Johnson gave away 3 wides in his last over leaving the visitors needing 1 run to win, which was got in the first ball of next over.
Clyst are rock bottom on 98 points with five games to save themselves. Results elsewhere were kind to Kingsbridge, who are four off the bottom and have a 10-point cushion over Axminster in the second relegation place.

Clyst Hydon 176 (C Lewis 57, D Reed 26, M Fitt 21; J Dorey 4-24, J Fraser 5-24), Kingsbridge 177-9 (A Buckland 53, C Bowles 38; K Sercombe 4-47, C Lewis 2-36). Kingsbridge (19pts) bt Clyst (8) by 1 wkt.

Clyst Hydon II vs Axminster III, 11/7/09 (Match Abandoned)

2009-07-12T09:13:00Z

Along with the rest of the entire Devon League programme today, rain was the winner at Clyst Hydon where just 16 overs were possible before the heavens opened.

Clyst IIs won the toss and asked Axminster III to bat first, the visitors reaching 64-2 against Matt Harris (2-41) when the steady drizzle became too heavy to continue. Skipper M.Endicott (23no) was going well for Axminster after the two early wickets.

With still no let-up in the rain after a couple of hours, the captains & umpires sensibly agreed that the only course of action was to abandon the match.

Clyst Hydon II (7pts), Axminster III (6pts)

Upottery II vs Clyst Hydon II, 4/7/09

2009-07-12T09:10:00Z

Clyst IIs picked up maximum points with a hard-fought win at bottom side Upottery II, who belied their lowly league position with a gritty performance.

Clyst were invited to bat first after losing the toss and were soon in trouble against Simon Bath (2-22) at 60-4 from 20 overs. Paul Garnham (87no) & Simon Hodgson rescued the visitors' innings with a steady stand of 66. With the overs running out, Garnham then cut loose and - with good support from Will Moore (17) - managed to push the score up over 200. Garnham's unbeaten 87 included three consecutive 6s off Nigel Wyatt's final over!

In reply, Upottery lost wickets steadily throughout their innings, but were always up with the required run rate setting up a potentially interesting finish. The unorthodox spin bowling of Mark Doyle (4-51) & some solid catching in the deep combined to leave the home side hanging on at 9 wickets down, but tailender M.Frost (31no) continued to chase the win when many sides would've shut up shop for the draw. Ultimately it was a run-out mix up which handed Clyst the crucial tenth wicket and a full 20pts victory.

Swantons Vs Clyst Hydon (Friendly) 22/06/09

2009-06-27T10:31:00Z

The long trek up to the Old Bristolians ground to play our old friends Swantons turned out to be a real turn up for the books... Despite the overcast conditions with a few light spots of rain the game (as always) was a joy to play in.

Making his comeback for Swantons after a break from playing of 5 years was the man himself, Phil Swanton. This is the guy responsible for the team that always has the best haircuts!

Clyst opened the batting but lost an early wicket with P. Garnham falling to a stumping without score. M. Johnson got into the swing of things and ended up on a very respectable 56 (His first 1/2 Century) after being bowled by S. Hoare, the pick of the Swanton bowling attack.
H. Wood also failed to score, however, there were notable contributions from N. Hodgin (35) B. Wilkinson (36) but the team eventually succumbed with a total of 193 All Out.

In reply Swantons never looked to be in trouble with Sage going on to make 58 before being caught by P. Garnham off the bowling of B. Wilkinson who eventually claimed 2-26 off 8 Aldridge also played an excellent supporting role with a very respectable 48 (Not Out)

Swantons won after seeing out all available overs.

Tiverton & Bickleigh II vs Clyst Hydon II 20/6/09

2009-06-24T15:42:00Z

Clyst IIs slumped to a disappointing defeat at Bickleigh in the latest round of matches in 'D' Division East. After being invited to bat first, Clyst quickly collapsed to 8-4 against a devastating spell of swing bowling from left-armer A.Quick. Rob O'Connell (23), Matt Harris (29) and Louis Bowen (29) all then chipped in with invaluable contributions as the ship was steadied and the visitors managed to scrap to 133 all out, Quick (7-31) returning to mop up the tail with 7 overs still to be faced.

Tiverton & Bickleigh made a good start in reply, largely thanks to a knock of 44 from T.Buxton. But they were made to fight all the way on an indifferent pitch by Chunky Dowell (3-42) and ended up reaching the required target with just 3 wickets remaining.

Clyst Hydon vs Feniton (Evening League Cup Semi-Final) 18/06/09

2009-06-19T07:40:00Z

Clyst booked their place in the Cup Final with a 34-run victory at home to local rivals Feniton. Clyst made 175-4 from 20 overs, Mike Cliff top scoring with 42 but with good contributions from John Rhodes (35), Richard Baggs (34) & Ian Sutton (26). Chris Hayden took 2-51 for the visitors.

In reply, Feniton were up with the rate early on but their middle order had no answer to Mike Johnson (4-25) and finished 34 runs short on 141-8. R. Pfeiffer made a quickfire 49 before being stumped by Ian Sutton off Johnson, which effectively sealed the visitors' fate.

Clyst Hydon II vs Kilmington II 13/6/09

2009-06-18T07:16:00Z

Clyst 2nds moved up to second place in the 'D' Division East table with a 179-run victory over visitors Kilmington II. Clyst batted first and posted 287-8 before skipper Dave Harris declared with two overs remaining. Harris (22) put on 84 for the first wicket with Russ Corney before what proved to be a match-winning stand of 109 between Corney (106) and Nick Hodgin (56). Extras also chipped in with a valuable 43. A.Smith took a creditable 5-41 for Kilmington II as the Clyst tail looked to accelerate the scoring rate in the latter overs.

Star of the show with the ball was Chunky Dowell, who had the visitors reeling with an inspired spell of 5-25, including a stunning reflex caught-and-bowled to take the final Kilmington wicket. Dowell had good support from both Will Moore (2-19) & Bruce Wilkinson (2-32) and only opener G.Watts was able to offer any serious resistance with a hard-hitting 34 at the top of the innings.

2009-06-18T07:14:00Z

Clyst cantered to a comprehensive victory against visiting Newton St. Cyres in the latest round of matches in the Island Cricket Exeter T20 League. The home side batted first and made 209-4 from 20 overs. Newton's Tommy Dowle (3-28) had Clyst under pressure early doors at 70-4, but a whirlwind unbeaten stand of 139 between Mike Cliff (58no) & Chris Holmes (78no) saw the total passed the 200-mark by the time the overs ran out.

In reply, Newton were blown away by John Rhodes (4-11) & Lee Morgan (2-0) and could muster only 28 all out, Extras top scoring with 8!

2009-06-13T09:25:00Z

Clyst cruised to a comfortable victory at home to Newton St Cyres in the first round of the Evening League Cup. The home side won the toss, batted first and posted 217-3 from 20 overs. Mike Cliff provded the backbone of Clyst's innings with a knock of 116, but he received good support from Chris Holmes (38no) and John Rhodes (30). D.Church took 2-48 for the visitors.

Newton never seriously got going in reply despite an impressive 28 from opener Mike Parfitt, and finished on 99-7 from their 20 overs. Acting skipper Chris Holmes took 2-6 with the ball, whilst brother Si Holmes claimed two excellent run-outs from the deep extra-cover boundary.

Clyst Hydon vs Pinhoe (ABANDONED)

2009-06-13T09:23:00Z

Just two overs were possible in this friendly match before heavy rain was declared the winner on a miserable evening.

Clyst won the toss and elected to bat as the game commenced in a steady drizzle, and had reached 3-1 from 12 balls before the drizzle became a downpour. The two captains optimistically waited a further 30 minutes before confirming the abandonment as the rain continued unabated. The fixture has been re-arranged for Weds 12th August.

Clyst Hydon vs Feniton (Evening League) 9/06/09

2009-06-13T09:20:00Z

Ian Sutton continued his superb run of form in a comfortable 44-run victory over Feniton, with his second consecutive unbeaten Evening League century. Sutton (107no) posted a stand of 67 for the opening wicket with Richard Baggs (22) and then a further unbroken partnership of 123 with Mike Cliff (56no). Clyst finished on 190-1 from their 20 overs with Adrian Pullin taking the only wicket to fall. Feniton, however, will rue dropping Sutton four times on the way to his ton.

In reply, the visitors found runs hard to come by against the miserly bowling of John Rhodes (2-17) but opener Brian Cann carried his bat for a patient 52no with useful support from Mark Kingdom (19). Feniton had reached 146-4 when the overs ran out.

Clyst Hydon VS Plymtree (Freindly) 31st May 2009

2009-06-01T17:16:00Z

CLYST HYDON SUFFER BIGGEST DEFEAT OF SEASON

Never under estimate the opposition in cricket... A good lesson for team Clyst Hydon as they were all skittled out for a measly 74

Plymtree won the toss and elected to bat but were soon in big trouble being 24 for 5 in 10 overs. C. Lewis taking 5 for 20, until 'on field' acting skipper N.Hodgin decided to make a game of it and relaxed the bowling attack, with the idea of giving them more runs and backing his batsman to get the target.

So some good batting from Malcom 47 and J. Granfeild 45 managed to take Plmtree to a decent score of 157 all out in 37.1 overs C.Lewis finishing with 6-20.

Chasing Clyst Hydon got off to a flyer with 45 for no loss in 6 overs until S. Eaglesome 34 was clean bowled then N.Hodgin (9) B. Wilkinson (6) B. Gittsham (2) S.Hodgson (0) P.Hodgson (3) C. Lewis (Golden 0) and D. Richards (0) all fell very cheaply and Clyst Hydon were all out for just 74, their lowest score in years.

Some inspired bowling from young Jack Granfeild 4-19 was the main cause of the defeat.

CLYST HYDON 1st XI VS BIDEFORD 30TH MAY 2009

2009-06-01T17:10:00Z

CLYST HYDON VS BIDEFORD 30TH MAY 2009

Skipper Martin Dudley won the toss and elected to bat on a track that seemed easy to bat on in good sunny weather, perfect conditions for a league match.
Clyst were soon in trouble again with I.Sutton, D.Reed, P.Harris and M.Glenny all falling cheaply to leave Clyst reeling to 46 for 5, but some sensible batting from C. Lewis who made 40 and some hard hitting 37 from W. Greig towards the end took the home team to a reasonable score of 175 all out in 45.1 overs, C.Luxton was the leading bowler with 4-44.

The chase couldnt have started any better with K.Sercombe trapping a batsman first ball of the match lbw, from then on wickets fell regularly and the visitors struggling on 137 for 9 due to some inspired bowling from W. Greig 4 -51, and W. Moore 3-22.

The visitors managed to hold on to a losing draw as Clyst could not bowl out the last pair with more than 11 overs to go.
Again poor batting performances, indifferent, indisciplined bowling cost Clyst the chance of winning the match outright.

Clyst Hydon 175 (C Lewis 40, W Gregg 37; C Luxton 4-44, J King 2-41, M Bettis 2-43), Bideford 160-9 (W Barrett 49, M Barrett 27; W Gregg 4-51, W Moore 3-22).

CLYST HYDON VS SOUTHGATE COMPTON (Friendly) 26-5-09

2009-05-27T20:17:00Z

Batting first on a perfect hard track in good sunshine, ideal conditions, R.Baggs and Pat Harris got off to a flying start scoring 62 without loss in 8 overs but soon the damage came.

R. Baggs (30) P. Harris (19) C. Holmes (12) B. Wilkenson (7) B. Jones (1) all fell quickly and Clyst were struggling at 79 for 6.
However, a good steady partnership between S. Doyle (45) and C. Lewis (39 not out) along with S.Hodgson (24 not out) managed to get them to quite a respectable score od 182 for 7 in their alloted 35 overs.

A special mention for S.Hodgson who hit his first ever six for Clyst Hydon after 8 years of playing cricket there, you never heard so much celebration from his team mates!

Chasing the target Southgate Compton easily knocked the score off.

A. Montague 33 C. Frame 48 and a superb hard hitting 69 not out from R. Fahey saw them through to 183 for the loss of just 5 wickets. W.Moore again bowled well scooping 2-26.

Clyst Hydon.182 for 7 (35 overs) R. Baggs 30 S. Doyle 45 C. Lewis 39 no S.Hodgson 24 no - C. Frame 4-20

CHCSC VS COMMONERS (FRIENDLY) 24-5-09

Skipper M.Johnson does make strange decisions which somehow he seems to get away with, winning the toss and batting first he decided to give Dich Richards a bat and sent him in at number 3, in a 40 overs match Dick managed to score 4 consuming 21 overs in the process until he was out.
So with the score at 86 for 4 and only 17 overs left Clyst needed to go for the runs and get to a respectable score.
C. Lewis (100 not out) with 13 4s and 4 sixes off only 54 balls and B. Wilkinson (60 not out) with 9 4s and 1 six in 53 balls put on and unbeaten impressive stand of 163 runs for the 5th wicket to take the home team to a very reasonable score of 248-4 in 40 overs.

Chasing, the Commoners got off to a impressive start with S. Godden blasting 60 to take them to 68 in the first overs but a impressive burst of seam bowling from Louis Bowen 4-31 sent them reeling to 108 for 5. A.Gooden 37 showed some resistance but they were all out for 187, C Lewis clearing up with 3-26

Clyst Hydon 248/4 (C.Lewis 100 no, B. Wilkinson 60 no S. Doyle 28, Holmes 2-32, S.Gooden 2-34)

Commoners 187 all out (S. Gooden 60, A. Gooden 37, L. Bowen 4-31, C. Lewis 3-26, P.Harris 2-19)

Clyst Hydon 2nd XI vs Kentisbeare 2nd XI (23/05/09)

2009-05-25T10:14:00Z

Clyst IIs maintained their 2nd position in the 'D' East league with a hard earned winning draw over visitors Kentisbeare.
The home side batted first after winning the toss and started brightly thanks to openers Alan Baggs (59) & Dave Harris (43) who laid a solid platform for the later batsmen to build on.
Unfortunately for Clyst however, only Will Moore (27) and Extras (25) were able to add significant contributions and it was felt at tea that a final total of 194-9 might be a little below par.
Tony Darling took 2-22 for the Kents.

In the visitors' reply, Matt Harris (3-24) was amongst the wickets as Kentisbeare never seriously got going in the early stages. But a good stand between T Cole (45) & Richard Durrant (39) then kept the Kents interested in chasing down the victory target, before both fell to Steve Pettitt (3-40) and it was time to shut up shop and accept the losing draw.

Kentisbeare had reached 152-8 when the overs ran out.

2009-05-25T10:10:00Z

CLYST HYDON VS KINGSBRIDGE 22-5-09 (LEAGUE)

Clyst Hydon (204-5) held on for a draw away to Kingsbridge (272-9) Skipper Martyn Dudley decided to abandon the chase when he went out to bat at 114 for five with 18 overs to go.
On a perfect day, sunshine and good batting track, the home team batted first, and again due to inaccurate bowling clyst Hydon managed to give away 51 extras, these extras balls and runs we give away are costing us these games, which in turn helped Kingsbridge to a healthy score of 272-9, Ashley Treeby scoring a hard hitting 57, K.Sercombe was once again the leading wicket taker 5-52 in his 13 overs.

Chasing this massive score Clyst Hydon couldn't ask for a worse start as I.Sutton and N.Hodgin were out in the first over, M.Glenny (17) was out with the score at 23 and the visitors were struggling, but good sensible batting from P.Harris 42 and C.Lewis took Clyst to 112 when Harris and Sercombe fell and Clyst stugglin at 112 for 5.
But a impressive stand between M. Dudley (27no) and Clinton Lewis (83no) batted through to make 90 unbroken in Hydon's 46-over total of 204 for five.

Kingsbridge 272-9 (A Treeby 57, S Gledhill 45, C Bowles 31, Extras 51; K Sercombe 5-52. M Johnson 2-54, L Morgan 2-53),
Clyst Hydon 204-5 (C Lewis 83no, P Harris 43, M Dudley 27no; N Peach 3-54).

Kingsbridge (13pts) drew with Clyst (11).

Woodbury II vs Clyst Hydon II 16/5/09

2009-05-21T06:25:00Z

Clyst IIs suffered their first league defeat of the 2009 season at the hands of a Woodbury IIs side who were noticeably stengthened by the absence of a first team fixture. The home side won the toss and invited Clyst to bat first, the visitors being bowled out for 178 with two overs still remaining. Dave Harris and Mike Glenny posted a steady partnership of 47 for the first wicket and Si Holmes followed up with a knock of 30, but this heralded a middle order collapse for Clyst against the bowling of Rob Jones (4-65).

The tail then wagged with Chunky Dowell, Will Moore & Steve Pettitt all striking some lusty blows as the final two wickets added an impressive 42 runs (and 2 further batting points).

Woodbury wasted no time setting about the chase, James Kavanagh opening up with some destructive hitting in a quickfire 49 before being caught in the deep by Pat Harris. The hosts then stuttered to 85-4 against Matt Harris (2-50) before a match-winning 5th wicket partnership of 51 between Andy Smale (55) & Robbie Carter (34no). Carter was left to finish things off on his own as Woodbury cruised home by 5wkts with plenty of overs to spare. Clyst meanwhile, will rue some dropped catches and a tight run-out decision as they ponder what might have been...!

Thorverton snatched a dramatic last-ball victory at Clyst Hydon with a huge 6 over long-off from Adam Staniforth. The home side had earlier posted 142-4 from their 20 overs, Chris Holmes top scoring with 41 and Chris Jelley with 35.

Kobi Griggs got the Thors reply off to blistering start with a rapid 40, good support coming from Gareth Hess (29). The visitors then lost a couple of wickets in the middle-order to Chris Jelley (2-41) but kept ahead of the required run-rate until 12 runs were needed from Jelley's final over. That became 4 needed from the final delivery, which Staniforth launched out of the ground!

2009-05-18T19:28:00Z

Clyst Hydon vs Barnstaple May 16th 2009

Skipper Martin Dudley won the toss and elected to bat on a windy wet day, but thanks to the club covers the track was dry and good for batting.

The home team started badly again, losing quick wickets M. Fitt and C. Holmes in the first 5 overs.
C.Lewis joined D.Reed and put a few runs on the board untill Reed fell lbw to M. Metters.
In came K. Sercombe and between him and Lewis put on a valuable 89 run partnership to take the home team to 150 when Lewis was given out lbw on 49. From then on wickets fell rapidly and the home team were skittled out for 176 losing 6 wickets for only 26 runs with Sercombe the last one out on 56.

Fielding, Clyst Hydon got off to a great start and had the visitors in trouble who were struggling at 102 for 7, L. Morgan 3-23, M. Johnson 2-37,K. Sercombe 2-57 doing the damage but some great hard hitting from R. Holm (35) and S. Moore (24 no) and extras 37 saw the visitors win by 2 wickets with an over to spare.

No excuses for the defeat with bowlers conceding too many wides and middle order batting not up to B division standards was the main concern and cause for loss.

Clyst Hydon 176 (D Reed 37, C Lewis 49, K Sercombe 56; M Metters 5-36, M Brice 2-46, J Popham 2-15),

Barnstaple & Pilton 180-8 (A Barton 32, R Holm 35, S Moore 24no; L Morgan 3-26, K Sercombe 2-59, M Johnson 2-37). Barnstaple (20pts) bt Clyst (8pts) by 2 wkts.

2009-05-13T07:01:00Z

Jelley sets Clyst on winning course...

Clyst Hydon edged a high scoring encounter at Foxhayes by 20 runs to begin the 2009 evening league season with a victory.

The visitors, having won the toss, posted 207-3 from 20 overs with opener Chris Jelley carrying his bat for 112no.

Kris Calderhead was the pick of the Civil bowling with 2-50.

In reply, the hosts began the 10-per-over chase at a ferocious pace, reaching 101-1 with 9 overs remaining thanks to Greg Newcombe (52) and N Childs (66), who blasted a partnership of 91 for the second wicket.
Newcombe was then spectacularly caught in the deep by Mike Johnson and, in fading light, Clyst's bowlers were able to regain control, eventually restricting Civil to 180-7 from 20 overs.
Particularly impressive again with the ball was Jelley, who returned figures of 4-25 to add to his earlier century with the bat.

Exeter Civil Service 0pts, Clyst Hydon 2pts.

Clyst Hydon had an uphill tast and started well and had reached 63 when S. Holmes (29) was bowled out, however, good workman-like partnership between I.Sutton (49) and H.Wood (27) took the home team to a reasonable 127 for 1 when a silly run out started their demise.

Soon wickets tumbed with fine bowling performances from K.Sercombe 3-29, Rob O'Connell 2-19 and C.Lewis 3-5 who skittled out the home team for 169.

After being put in on a very wet wicket and out feild, Clyst soon lost Sutton and P.Harris early but a brilliant stand of 138 for the 4th wicket between M.Fitt (75) and G.Trude (71no) took the visitors to a very reasonable score of 230 for 4 in the alloted 46 overs, P Veale taking 2-28 for the home team.

Chasing that sort of score with reduced visibilty and sticky wicket was always going to be hard, but with bad light intrupting play on and of the home team managed to hold on and not get bowled out finishing 168 for 7

D.Nandana again being the impressive bolwer taking 6-35.

JOHN RHODES STARS IN GOOD ALL ROUND PERFORMANCE

After losing the toss the home team was put into bat first on a lovely batting track which looked full of runs yet Tiverton decided to field first.
Wickets fell early with seamer Hubbard taking 2. J. Rhodes (55) and G. Trude (65) batted very well and built a good partnership to take the home team to good score.

After their wickets fell C. Lewis (22 not out) and D. Nandana (31 not out) batted well to achieve a very good total of 257 for 6 in 46 overs.

In reply Tiverton really were never comfortable and found themselves struggling at 56 for 5 with K. Sercombe doing the early damage, taking the first three wickets, however, the bowling honours went to J. Rhodes who took 4-31 with the help of D. Nandana 2-59 to restrict Tiverton to 153 all out. D. Perry (46) and P. Lester (38) were the only batsmen who showed some resistance for the visitors.

Another good all round performance by the Clyst Hydon boys who are looking a good bet to win the league and promotion. They must keep playing to this standard; keep the good work up boys.

2008-07-25T07:22:00Z

SERCOMBE BOWLS CLYST TO VICTORY WITH IMPRESSIVE SPELL

Clyst Hydon vice Captain K. Sercombe bowled an impressive spell of 6-45 to seal a good win over Chagford and overcome their bad away record.

Winning the toss and electing to bat without the services of Ian Sutton a chance was given to P. Harris to open with S. Doyle but they both fell cheaply.

In walked G. Trude (20) who with J. Rhodes (48) built up a stand of 86.

When Rhodes got a shocking delivery from a length to be hit on the gloves and a easy catch to short leg.
Soon after Lewis joined Trude and when Trude went for 20 C. Lewis (34) and D. Nandana (20) batted sensibly to put on 64 run partnership.
The visitors ended up with 199 for 9 after 46 overs. Skipper M. Dudley ending up unbeaten on 18.

Chagford started badly and were never in the hunt soon being 48 for 4, a good middle order batting by C. Mortimer (32) was the only one who put up some resistance until Sercombe changed ends and bowled well trapping most batsmen lbw to end with figures of 6-45 and D. Nandana 2-33 to seal a good win for Clyst Hydon.

Clyst Hydon (19 points) 199 for 9 (J Rhodes 48, C Lewis 34, D Nandana 26, D Endacott 3-25.) beat

CLYST HYDON V D.RICHARDS X1 13/7/8 (Friendly)

2008-07-15T21:17:00Z

Skipper S.Hodgson (Hoggy) decided to pack his team this week with some of the stars of the 1st X1...

K. Sercombe was the surprise inclusion in what was 'on paper' a strong side, to take on what appeared to be a below par 'Dick Richards XI' team constituting 5 under 16's and 6 over 50's!

Playing out a timed game and batting first Clyst opened up with Sercombe and Lewis to an under 16 s opening attack, to their surprise the new ball was swinging and they under estimated these young lads, firstly Sercombe was bowled by a beauty from B.Hingley for a duck and the bowlers soon followed up with another big wicket belonging to no other than Treasurer Russel Corney, however, batting sensibly C. Lewis and D. Nandana took the score from a dreadful 22 for 2 to 227 with a superb stand of 205 for the 3rd wicket...

After the skipper decided Lewis had done enough he requested Lewis to retire on 118 n.o. (Yes - Done up like a kipper! - ED) and Nandana eventually fell for 125 leaving Clyst with a fantastic score of 285 for 6 in 40 overs.

In reply the game initially seemed like it was heading for an early conclusion, with the visitors losing wickets very quickly, until a very stubborn and annoying 9th wicket partnership of 64 between veterans A. Rocket (34 n.o.) and K. Wood (17 n.o.) (please note that their average combined age was 153! - ED)

These 'aged' experts managed to see off everything Clyst had to offer (including Alice Johnson! - Aged 14) to ensure that they weren't all bowled out and ended up with 179 for 8...

Despite the Clyst skipper bringing on his 1st XI 'star bowlers' they were no match and looked very ordinary - It was a good job the 1st XI skipper was not watching!!!

A great game in the end and everyone enjoyed K. Sercombe's impression of Billy Bowden while he was taking a turn to umpire!

CLYST HYDON 1st XI V KINGSBRIDGE (12/7/8 LEAGUE)

2008-07-15T21:11:00Z

Sri Lankan all-rounder Dhanuja Nandana delivered the goods with bat and ball as Clyst Hydon continued to hold the high ground in the C Division with a 21-run win at home to Kingsbridge.

After winning the toss again and electing to bat, Clyst got off to a reasonably good start with Ian Sutton (39), John Rhodes (33) but a middle order collapse with the failure of P.Harris (6), G.Trude (9), C.Lewis (8), and K.Sercombe (5) saw the Clyst lads strugling for 131 for 8 but some fine hard hitting from Nandana (20) and Skipper M.Dudley (18) helped guide the hosts to 187 for nine.

Adam Buckland nabbed five wickets for 37 runs and Ben Glover took two for 58.

Nandana returned figures of five for 35 as the visiting side were bundled out for 166. Kev Sercombe claimed three for 44.

Kingsbridge were pointed in the right direction by Andy Wilmot (43) and looked likely winners while Ashley Treeby (87), who had a charmed life remained;.

Treeby started to run out of partners when Kingsbridge slumped from 159 for five to 159 for eight and got out soon after.

Kingsbridge remain Clyst's nearest challengers at the top, but the chasing pack is now hard behind them,

Clyst Hydon skipper Martyn Dudley said: "It was a close game and at times advantage went both ways.

“That we prevailed in the end was probably down to our tail wagging to get us up to a competitive score. It was good for us that we won our 'big game' but Seaton and Feniton both lost".

“We need to maintain the level of consistency we have found and take each game as it comes, top performance from the boys, who maintained their composure and fielded well under pressure, surely the Man of the Match goes to D.Nandana brisk 20 took us to a reasonable score and that match winning last spell which sealed the win for Clyst Hydon!"

Match Report and Stats : C.J.Lewis

Clyst Hydon vs Wye Rustics ( friendly)

2008-07-06T12:48:00Z

Clyst skipper S.Holmes won the toss and elected to bat on a very grassy indifferent wicket.

The home team started fairly well at 47 for 2. Then there was a brilliant 170 run patnership fior the 4th between J.Rhodes (98) and C.Lewis (62), where there was some hard hiiting and massive sixes from Rhodes in very quick time until he was out 2 short of a century trying a pull a short pitched ball and was caught behind and so after Lewis too fell playing at a short pitched wide delivery but took the score to a respectable 285 in the 40 alloted overs, there was also good hitting from B.Wilkinson (32).

The Rustics team were always in the hunt and never gave up the chase but were running short of overs and with the run rate going up started to play their shorts but ended 13 runs short at 272 for 9, the wickets were shared by J.Rhodes,C.Lewis, and D.Nandana who took 2 wickets each.

Another victory for the home team , and hope they keep this winning trend up.
