A ring rusty Park House were beaten in a close encounter at Belmont. Skipper Dawson had picked a team well balanced in terms of youth and experience. With a squad of 15 to pick from, he has thrown down the challenge for all players to justify their selection. Competition has never been tougher for places.
Batting first against some varied bowling, Ian Hearn showed why he is the club's leading run scorer with a quality knock of 31. All the other batsmen struggled on a good wicket and PHCC innings closed on 79.
Reeder opened the bowling and demonstrated the value of common sense line and length bowling; he was very unlucky to end wicketless. However step forward the youngest team members Gilchrist (D) and Bandeen (P) - not afraid to give the ball plenty of flight and loop both bowled very well and deserved their wickets. If they can listen and learn from the senior team members both have a chance of leading the attack for many years to come. Watch out Tony G, your brother is out to claim your place !
Next stop Hylton.
Team: Hearn, Jackson, Gardner, Pollard, Dawson (J), Gilchrist (T), Bandeen (P), Bandeen(PC), Reeder, Gilchrist (D)
