CENTURY STAND TURNS VENTNOR STRIFE INTO VICTORY

10/5/2022

VENTNOR got their Southern Premier League Division 1 season off to a flyer in the New Forest with a six-wicket win against New Milton.
Ben Woodhouse put the home side into bat, with strike bowler Rob Snell bowling his ten overs straight off for an economical 20 runs. He was well supported by 16 year old Will Mew’s 1-12 off his first six overs on his first team debut following his switch from Ryde.. 
Their new overseas signing, Sri Lankan Dineth Thimodya, then took 4-14 with his right-arm off breaks, which left New Milton struggling at 135-8 with only eight overs left. Ellis Ridett batting for Ryde.
Hugh Calloway cleaned up the tail to take the last two wickets in the 47th over, leaving Ventnor a target of 162 to beat.
New Milton seamers did damage with the new ball, which had Ventnor languishing on 49-4 by the 14th over.  But Martin Blackman (67 not out) and Ross Whyte (60) steadied the ship as they put on an excellent century stand for the fifth wicket, seeing Ventnor home with 22 balls to spare and earn a maximum 22 points.  County Press sport.
