Greeted by a lovely facility Hythe were soon made welcome by a lovely big clubhouse and bar which certainly helped team selction. Captain for the day - Richie Froggett .Hythe won the toss and elected to bat first on what looked a great track. Ewan Bell and Tom Porter opened and put on 55 for the first wkt before Porter fell for 31. Matt Howe got 13 before being caught and at drinks Hythe were 80 for 2 with Bellie on 31. Told to get a move on Bellie upped the pace with Rob James looking like he relished being on home soil at the other end. The pair added 94 for the 3rd wkt before James was out caught for 5 with 6 overs to go. Bellie still needed 29 for his ton but with Kev James supporting well at the other end he brought it up with a four with 2 balls to go to great applause from his team mates. Next / last ball though he was bowled by Pook for 102 - Hythe finishing on 228 for 4.
Another fine tea and Hythe took to the field. Froggett and Edwards opened the bowling and in the 5th over Hunt was judges LBW to Froggett for 0. D.Lee looked quality at the other end and supported by chairman of selectors son A.Mortimore they added 35 before Mortimore was LBW to Edwards for 15. At drinks the home side were 95 for 2 and the game was evenly balanced. At 128 a mix up between the batsman - the unlucky A.Morris (who netted with Hythe at the Rose Bowl) was stranded by Lee at the other end and had to go for 27 thanks to a Matt Howe throw. Mike Graham bowled Cosgrove to leave Callington 149 for 4 and when Lee finally holed out to a delighted Rob James off Matt Howe for 94 - Hythe were back ahead of the game. 179 for 5 after 34 overs.
