North Crawley – 211 for 9 off 40 overs

Great Horwood – 37 all out off 13.1 overs

Great Horwood were convincingly beaten on Saturday at league leaders North Crawley, thanks partly to a century from Alex Walker followed by some devastating bowling by Ollie Clarke who took 6 wickets for 17 runs off just 7 overs.

Crawley won the toss & batted first and Walker’s century along with 28 from Matt Goss and 26 from Rajet Nahar set Horwood 212 to win. Oliver Prendergast took 4 wickets for 36 runs off 7 overs, with Adam Armitage and Haydon Morrison both taking a brace each.

Olly Prendergast

However the Great Horwood batting never got going and were blitzed by Crawley in just 79 balls, only four Horwood players scoring out of the eleven, Prendergast making 12 was the best they could muster, and with 7 ducks the hosts won by 174 runs.

Clarke took his 6 wickets, whilst Courtney Gresty took 3 for 20 off 6 overs, with Colin Bonnett bowling 1 ball & taking a wicket with it to end the contest. His side took the 25 points with the visitors picking up 4 bowling points, and with New City winning it meant Horwood slip to the foot of the table.

Fourth place Eaton Bray visit Horwood next weekend, in what looks another stern test.

Great Horwood – 115 all out off 29 overs

Great Horwood were beaten again on Saturday, this time at Milton Keynes by 79 runs & the bowling of Navshan Nakhwa who took six of the Horwood wickets.

Horwood won the toss and elected to field, but struggled to contain their hosts in the early overs, Nimesh Chavda made 44, Nick Hillman 22 and Neil Gordon 26 set Milton Keynes on their way, a couple of wickets fell before Grant Ebrahim hit 24 followed closely by Dan Ramsell with 19. Some great fielding towards the end saw three run outs and the home side finish on 194 all out, with Josh Nix, Simon Ridgway & Haydon Morrison all taking a brace of wickets each.

Horwood started their innings well, skipper Stuart Parker made 50 before being run out, Sam Willet reached 28 before being bowled, and at 58-1 then 84-2 things looked promising but Horwood collapsed, Josh Nix did make 16 but the remaining wickets failed to make double figures, 5 were out for ducks with Nakhwa taking the man of the match accolade for his figures of 6 for 28 off 9 overs, Brian Tompkins taking 3 wickets off 5 overs.
