BASINGSTOKE SET FOR FOUR-MATCH 'WHITE BALL' CHALLENGE

19/7/2017

0 Comments

 
Basingstoke & North Hants are about to experience their first taste of ‘white ball’ competitive Sunday cricket with Weybridge visiting May’s Bounty on Sunday (1.30) for the first of four  Challenge matches.
The Bountymen will wear their familiar blue and gold pyjama kit and play against black sightscreens in a series of Sunday afternoon games which will see Finchampstead, Richmond and Falkland also visit the Bounty in the coming weeks.
Organiser David Price explained: “We are working to try to bring back some more competitive Sunday cricket and we’ve lined up a series of attractive games, which we hope the players and local spectators will support.”
To ensure there’s a competitive edge to the 45-over games, a £250 cricket equipment voucher will be awarded to each winning team.
Basingstoke captain Mitchell Stokes is hoping all his current first team squad, excluding the globe trotting Will Phillips, will make themselves available.
“We are looking for promotion into Premier Division and, if that’s achieved, we will be playing white ball cricket on a regular basis next summer, so it’s important we familiarise ourselves with it,” he said.
“David has lined up a series of attractive matches for four of the next five Sundays, so let’s hope everyone supports the venture.”
