Early damage with the ball sets 2nds up for win in first of quick-fire double header

The news was better along the A45 as Willoughby’s second string overcame their counterparts at neighbours Braunston.

The victory was set-up thanks once again to the bowling of some of Willoughby’s youngsters as 15 year old Dan Farrow and 14 year old Archie McMillan reduced the hosts to 13 for 6, eventually returning figures of 3 for 11 and 3 for 15 respectively. Only Saurabh Garg in at nine made it into double figures making 25 not out as Kamesh Ganti added to the earlier efforts by taking 3 for 13 as the hosts were bowled out for 59.

Willoughby’s reply was far equally less than convincing despite Callum Hanks making 17 and Kishan Parmar 12, but despite a mid-order wobble the visitors reached their target with three wickets and plenty of overs in hand ahead of this Saturday’s rematch between the two back at Willoughby. Stephen Nelligan taking 5 for 22 for the hosts.
