TONY WOODHOUSE TROPHY

Sway have gone back to the top of the Tony Woodhouse Trophy League after beating Hythe by 8 wickets at Jones Lane.

Hythe batted first and made a disappointing 103 all out (Matt Young 39*) Sway's best bowling S.Howe 3-11, D.Marshall 2-9, F.Charlton 2-6. Sway took just 12 overs to knock off the runs despite losing 2 wickets in the process. W.Vaughan made 57* and A.Hall 42* as they shared an unbeaten 92 run partnership.

Hythe must beat Fawley on the 10th August and hope Fawley do them a favour the following week to have any chance of overtaking holders Sway

Sway Winners 2007

The Tony Woodhouse Trophy was set up in 2003 with the idea of Hythe using it to bring youngsters into adult cricket. Lawrence Read at Fawley has been doing it for years and together the two clubs also asked Beaulieu to form a Triangular Tournament with the sides playing each other once.

Tony Woodhouse himself played for Hythe for nearly fifty years & during the last twenty it was spent in the Sunday 2nds playing with the youngsters.

Through the 80’s the team consisted of Tony, Alan Wiltshire and 9 colts representing Hythe 2^nd XI which resulted in heavy defeats and some objections from the opponents. Yet Hythe ignore the complaints and many of the Senior players today benefited from those years of cricket. Tony never complained though – he was happy in the slips with the young lads running around the field and if they dropped a catch off his bowling, he use to shout ‘ never mind you’ll catch the next one’.

TONY WOODHOUSE TROPHY 2007

Sway have won the 2007 Tony Woodhose Trophy after beating Fawley on the final day with just 5 overs left in the game. Bad weather eliminated three of the six games but the other three games were played in a excellent spirit and all credit to the captains .

Hythe finished second after they beat Fawley at Hythe by 3 wkts leaving last years champions third.
