NCL CRICKET: Heathfield’s all-round efforts not enough to rescue ONs

All looked to be going okay for ONs as openers Rob White and Tom Heathfield steered them to 32 without loss, but once White was dismissed by Mark Edwards, the wheels well and truly came off.

ONs slumped from 32 for none to 73 for eight and were eventually shot out for just 94 in 37.1 overs, with Edwards wreaking havoc as he claimed six for 29. Heathfield was ONs’ top scorer with 20.

If Peterborough thought they were going to cruise to their victory target they were soon given a reality check as Heathfield claimed five for 59 to reduce them to 71 for six, but the visitors held their and got over the line at 95 for seven in 21 overs.

Saints failed to build on their previous week’s win over ONs, as they slipped to an 88-run defeat at Geddington.

Bradley Armer cracked 122 and Andy Reynoldson 50 as Geddington made 266 for four in their 50 overs, with Mojammed Rozvi taking two for 76 for Saints.

Saints were in decent shape at 98 for two in reply, but wickets started to fall steadily and, despite the efforts of opener Emilio Gay, who hit 69, and 28 from Zaakir Khawaja, nobody else could stick around as they were bowled out for 178 in 48.1 overs.

George Parker took three for 61 for Geddington.

Horton House are second from bottom in the table and still looking for their first win of the season after they were beaten by 60 runs by reigning champions Finedon Dolben - but they will be rueing letting strong positions slip in both innings.

Finedon made 276 for five declared from 45 overs, with Greig Hofbauer cracking 114 not out and Jack Chopping 53 not out - the pair getting their side out of a hole at 107 for five, with Will Charter claiming two for 19.

Ewan Cox (80) and Ben Coddington (40) then steered Horton to 111 for one as they set about chasing victory, but once they were out the innings fell away as Horton were dismissed for 216 from 474.1 overs.

For Finedon, Chopping claimed three for 31 and Chris Todd three for 25.

Brixworth’s struggles continued as they were beaten by four wickets at Desborough.

Joe Gordon was Desborough’s hero with the ball, claiming five for 20, as Brixworth were shot out for just 92, Tony Hall grabbing three for 52.

Luke Evans did at least give the home side a scare as his four for 33 had Desborough in trouble, but Wayne Steed’s 25 not out proved crucial as they stumbled over the line at 93 for six - although the top scorer was extras, with 27!

In the other games, Rushden & Higham saw off Wollaston by one wicket and Brigstock beat Oundle Town by seven wickets.
