VILLAGE CHAMPIONSHIPS: ROWLEDGE/SPARSHOLT PROGRESS

15/6/2015

Sparsholt blazed their way into the national phase of the Davidstow Village Championships with a thumping eight-wicket win over Eversley at Locks Lane.
They restricted their opponents to 182-4 and chased down the target to win with 16 overs to spare.
Alex Davidson (71) and Tom Howorth (55) top scored for Eversley, but Sparsholt openers Mike Haworth (74 not out) and Stu Tognarelli (63) set about the reply at a blistering pace, passing 120 inside 15 overs.
It was a formality after that, Sparsholt booking a home tie with Berkshire champions Wraysbury in the first national round on Sunday week, June 28.
Rowledge also gained home advantage – against Kent winners, the Folkestone based Sibton Park – after beating Blackheath (Guildford) by 37 runs.
Ian Metcalfe (63) and Nick Morant (41) led Rowledge to 189-9, but at 135-1, Blackheath looked set to win.
But teenager George Keeley produced an astonishing spell of 7-22 to send the last nine Blackheath wickets crashing for 17 runs.
Parley are out after suffering a revenge defeat by Goatacre, whom they defeated in last season’s Dorset/Wiltshire county final.
Progress into the national phase of the competition which has its prestigious final at Lord’s looked a distinct possibility as Tom Blakeley (3-50) and left-arm spinner Dom Clutterbuck (3-18) reduced Goatacre to 58-6.
But the Wiltshire club wriggled out of trouble and posted 165-9, which proved a winning total.
Oli Green (23) and Jamie Price (21) made starts for Parley, but with Ed Wilkins taking 5-26 the visitors could only manage 120 all out.
