JACOB GORDON GUIDES BASHLEY TO LORD'S ECB SIXES FINAL

Bashley (Rydal) are through to next month’s ECB national indoor sixes championship finals at Lord’s after beating Cheltenham Civil Service by one wicket in the south-west regional play-off at Taunton.
Jacob Gordon hit an unbeaten 33 as Bashley successfully chased down a Civil Service total of 101-5 to win with five balls to spare.
They will now play Bedfordshire League side Flitwick on Sunday April 3 and, if successful, will face either Horwich RMI or Ickenham in the ECB final.
Bashley made hard work of beating Cheltenham, with skipper Michael Porter confessing: “We didn’t play very well.”
Porter himself fell early as Bashley began their run chase, but Tom Jacques (31) and Gordon (33 not out) both ‘retired’ at 60 before the middle-order creaked and two wickets fell cheaply.
Jacques returned to the crease and, with teenager Sam Crisp (23) alongside, guided Bashley to within striking distance of victory at 90-3 before being bowled.
Bashley were only five runs short when Crisp, whose batting and earlier economical bowling stood out, lost concentration and was needlessly stumped.  But Gordon kept his cool and eased Bashley into their debut ECB indoor final.
Sparsholt‘s hopes of joining Bashley at Lord's ended with a 43-run defeat by Waltham in the south-east regional semi-finals at Beckenham.
The Essex Premier League side posted a powerful 128-3 before bowling Sparsholt out for 85, Will Berrill (20) top scoring.
