| Richard LAST 3-27 & 21* |
Maybe not as comfortable as recent games but Hythe 2's saw off strugglers Mudeford 2's by 4 wkts chasing 170 to win. Richard Last had a good day for the Green Caps taking 3-27 and scoring 21 not out with the bat.
Mudeford batted first with Hythe hoping to take advantage of a wicket probably still sweating from being under the cover all night. Luke Blackwell got the breakthrough in only the 3rd over - when he bowled Vines for 0. 3 overs later and Mudeford were 20 for 2 when Last bowled Kelly for 11.
Batt was then caught behind by Millar off Last for 2 and the seasiders were 28 for 3 off 8. Things got worse when Blackwell bowled Burton for 0 and Hythe were well on top. Wakelin started to play some very good shots adding 28 with L.Kelly beofre Kelly was bowled by Last for 3. - Mudeford 66 for 5 off 18.
By drinks the score had moved onto 80 for 5 3 wickets then fell for only 6 runs when Chalky White first had the dangerous Wakelin LBW for 41. White then bowled Keeping for 0 and 2 runs later White struck again when Tongs caught Boulton for 0 . - Mudeford 101 for 8. off 27.
G.Wilkinson and J.Smith then added 48 valuable runs for the 9th wicket before Mills caught & bowled Smith for 41. The last pair then added 20 before Mills wrapped up the innings when Bowman caught Foster for 13. G.Wilkinson remained unbeaten on 29 begging the question - why didn't he bat earlier. Mudeford 169 all out in 36.2 overs.
Hythe got off to a good start in reply through Tongs and Bowman. 44 for 0 after 10 as Tongs got off to a flyer then 71 for -0 at 15. Next over though Wilkinson bowled Tongs for 47 an innings which included 10x4's. That brought Si Dixon to the crease and the pair added 18 before Bowman was caught off Wilkinson for 28 just after drinks. Hythe 91 for 2 off 22.
The inform Dave Guymer joined Dixon but this time failed with the bat - out for 7 - Wilkinson again the bowler. Hythe's mini slump continued when Tom Porter was bowled by Wakelin for 2. Hythe 109-4. Dixon was next to go caught behind off Wakelin for 23. Mills and Zac Millar added 26 for the 6th wicket before Mills was bolwed for 21 - Hythe 142 for 6 off 35. Mudeford were making a real fight of it but Zac Millar and Richard Last held firm - adding an unbeaten 29 for the 7th wicket - Hythe home with 2.3 overs spare. Millar ended 13 not out - Last 21 not out.
