Clowne went into this game searching for there first win of the season. The captain again winning the toss put the home side into bat, on what turned out to be quite a lively track. J Fellows and P Linacre were given the new ball, and it was Fellows who got the first break through in the 5th over, getting M Tatler caught at 2nd slip by Thompson for 4. This brought T Windley to the crease to join R Palfryman and together started to build a good total. The captain decided that a change of bowling was needed to break the partnership, so he introduced Matthew (cant bowl down hill) Linacre to the attack, but found his first spell tough especially having to run around his bottom lip to bowl. After a good opening spell from P Linacre, G Long was given the ball to bowl his first spell of the season (who incidentally had to dig his cricket bag up from Clowne church yard, recover his bat from the wood shed and fish his whites out of Donna’s duster bag) to play. It was G long who got the much needed break through in the 22nd over getting T Windley caught and bowled for 44. A Frost 0, B Bostock 1, R Goulding 0, were all removed by the double act of G Long caught P Thompson in quick succession. Wickets started to fall at regular intervals P Daws was the next to go caught at cover by G White of the bowling of Fellows for 7, who was soon followed by D Ince caught of the bowling of Fellows for 0. Matthew (can bowl uphill) Linacre was brought back and removed the pick of the batsmen R Palfryman 55 caught by G White, then removed D Ince’s middle stump for 0. Clowne failed to get the final wicket which left W Hallam on 149 for 9. J Fellows 14-3-26-3 P Linacre 8-1-29-0 M Linacre 9-0-47-2 G Long 11-1-34-4 M Barton 4-1-9-0
