Stow on the Wold Cricket Club
Reports from Ashley Andrews,Capt.
Saturday 3rd September vs Andovesford – WON
Stow welcomed bottom of the table Andovesford to the club this week
in a reverse of the first game of the season that got cancelled. Stow
won the toss and elected to field, getting off to the best possible start.
Dan Heaps and Hayden Elsdale both took 2 early wickets to have
Andovesford struggling at 30-4. Both of Stow’s openers set the tone
and bowled well. Hayden ended with figures of 2/23 off 10 and
Heapsy ended with 4/14 off 10 overs. A few small partnerships from
Andovesford in the middle order helped them, but Seb Bevan
wrapped up the tail enders taking 2/25 and leaving Andovesford
scoring 97 all out.
Things didn’t get off to the best of starts with Max Fisher getting
bowled for a duck in the second over, and when Ashley Andrews was
bowled for 17 it brought Dan Heaps to the crease - and he took apart
the Andovesford bowlers. Coming in at 35-3 with the team needing
only 63 more runs to win he smashed an incredible 50 not out off 29
balls to ease the team to victory after 17 overs.
Another win for the team which pushes them well up the table to 5th
with 1 game to go against 3rd place Chedworth.

Friday 9th September vs Spye Park – WON
Stow welcomed touring team Spye Park for an evening 2020 match.
Stow won the toss and chose to bat. Rob Wise opened and hit a quick
42 before being caught. All the middle order chipped in with Hayden
Elsdale the pick, hitting 29 including some huge shots and helping
Stow rack up 163 off the 20 overs.
Stow’s bowlers didn’t hang around either and Hayden was pick of the
bowlers, taking 3 wickets for 6 runs in his 2 over spell. A few of the
Spye batsmen looked dangerous but when two of the team were both
run out trying to up the run rate Stow took control, bowling out Spye
for 137.
A friendly and fun evening game.
Saturday 10th September vs Chedworth – Lost
The team’s final game of the season saw them play 2nd place
Chedworth. Chedworth batted first and hit 246 off their 40 overs , the
biggest score Stow have been set this season (after all of Stow’s
players had a bowl). With a new batting line up Stow got off to a
dreadful start with Craig Hughes (normal number 11) losing his wicket
first ball of the innings! 2 more wickets fell in the first over which
brought Dan Smith, who hit a quick 30, and Ashley Andrews, 35, to the
crease to get Stow up towards the 100 run mark. But Chedworth were
always in control and took wickets regularly, although a cameo of 19
from Sam Webley at the end of this innings took Stow’s total to 116
before being bowled out.
A disappointing end but everyone was involved and the result didn’t
affect the team’s final league position of 5th.
A good first season in Division 1, finishing mid table and with things to
look forward to next season.
