Rain ruins hopes of Westgate win

Westgate U13s ahead of their game with Netherfield.

Andy Hill’s side batted first and posted 134-7 from 30 overs before declaring – openers Dave Hannigan (8) and Craig Buchanan (11) both fell early on to Chris Dixon (4-46) but top scorer on the day Dylan Conroy (34) helped take the score on.

However, Andy Hill (7) was bowled by Tattersall (1-35), as was Sam Frith (4) by Braithwaite (2-45), as the hosts reduced Westgate to 68-4 and Conroy was dismissed soon after, Dixon claiming his third wicket of the day with the score on 70-5.

Andreas Arestidou managed just eight runs before falling to Braithwaite with the score on 90-6, and it soon became 92-7 when Khan Puffett (14) was bowled by Dixon.

That was the last wicket to fall though as Chris Carter (18 no) and Jack Huntington (22 no) helped Westgate to 134-7.

Burneside were denied the opportunity to chase their target down though as the rain came just three balls into their innings, with the score on 6-0.

The two sides never returned to the field and as a result they shared the points.
