100 per cent start as Emsworth lose derby
HAYLING Island Cricket Club started the season in blistering form with both the senior teams winning their first two games with ease.
Unusually the first game for both teams was against local rivals Emsworth.
The games were characterised by excellent team performances with a few notable mentions, young "Swanny" scored 49 and "Gorvy" picked up 3-11 for the Seconds.
In the firsts, it was mainly a top quality performance by all the bowlers which won the day as they shared the spoils.
Both the Seconds matches were equally enthralling with the Firsts again thumping Gosport II thanks to some fine batting from J Jones (46) and M Mcdowell hitting 42.
There were also excellent all-round bowling performances from A Shayegan and R Poole, who bagged three wickets each.
The Seconds beat Locks Heath III with Gary Martin scoring a top drawer 72, assisted ably by a young at heart Rob Cordell 47.
Treasurer K Adams also popped up with three vital wickets.
The clubs new nets, situated in the park, are now fully operational. Come and give it a go on Thursday nights 6-8pm.
