Comfy win over Lewes (20/06/09)Tom Smith

Eastbourne 241 for 6 (Mark Tomsett 50, Ben Brown 47)
Lewes Priory 169 all out (Tom Smith 6 for 51)
Eastbourne won by 72 runs

Eastbourne got back to winning ways in the Sussex Premier League by beating lowly Lewes at The Saffrons by 72 runs. The home side batted first and racked up 241 for 6 in 54 overs. Skipper Mark Tomsett led from the front, hitting his second fifty of the season, making exactly 50. Tom Smith continued his fine form with 45, Ben Brown struck 47, while Ollie Rayner (28) and Alex Pollard (23 not out) were the other run-getters as Lewes toiled in the field. Pick of their bowling was Simon Birch who grabbed 3 for 51. An early declaration meant Eastbourne had 56 overs to bowl at their opponents.

Lewes' reply was in fact a steady one. Tom Sharp hit 50 and captain Michael Murray made 26 as the game was in the balance at 103 for 2. But the introduction of the reliable spin duo of Tom Smith (pictured) and Rayner saw wickets tumble a rapid rate. The middle and lower order all fell away cheaply as 'Smithers' returned excellent figures of 15.2-2-51-6 to power the'bourne to a maximum 30 point victory. Rayner took 3 for 63 as the Saffrons side now lie fifth in the table nearly at the half way stage of the season. 

Forths make it 5 on the spin (20/06/09)

Crowborough were asked to bat first on a difficult Larkins wicket. Completely dead with virtually no bounce in the wicket. Not conducive to good cricket. They scored 164 all-out with the pick of the bowlers Ali Hall-Jones who took 3 for 33 in 11 accurate overs. He was well supported in the left hand spin department by Joe Barnett and Russ Varney with 2 wickets each.
In reply the home side knocked the runs off for the loss of only 4 wickets. Simon Hoadley again top scored with 44 not out, well supported by the fine stroke play of Ollie Varney28 and skipper Chris Hoadley 38, showing some form at last with the bat.
The game was finished off by Duncan Cameron who hit 2 sixes.
30 points for Eastbourne and their fifth consecutive win.
Next week 2nd place Eastbourne are away to first placed Newhaven.


'Bourne crash late at Nomads (13/06/09)

Preston Nomads 271 for 5
Eastbourne 167 all out (Alex Pollard 38)
Preston Nomads won by 104 runs

Eastbourne lost three wickets in the penultimate over of the match to crash to a 104 run defeat at league leaders and current Sussex Premier League champions, Preston Nomads. Eastbourne were without key all-rounders Ollie Rayner and Ragheb Aga who were both on duty for the county. The 'bourne won the toss and elected to field, but Nomads openers Joe Gatting and Michael Gould made hay in the sunshine as they put on 98 for the first wicket in double quick time. Gatting fell for a classy 55 from 61 deliveries. This brought Jeremy Green to the crease who hit 32 from 34 balls, dismissed by a brilliant run out from Mark Tomsett in the covers. Rob Wakeford then cracked 48 from 56 as the home side piled on the misery for Eastbourne in the field. Gould was eventually out for 80, caught and bowled by the part-time spin of Tomsett. Tom Smith grabbed two wickets as they hosts racked up a very challenging 271 for 5, meaning Eastbourne picked up no bowling points because they inserted the opposition and only took five wickets.

The 'bourne were never in the hunt for their target, slumping to 51 for 3. Opener John Snashall continued his steady form with 29. But it was 17 year old debutant Alex Pollard who impressed most with the bat. He showed great composure in his 38, sharing in a 70 run partnership for the 5th wicket with Tom Smith who made 35. The game appeared to be petering out into a draw as Nomads needed four wickets in 4 overs for victory and Eastbourne were well over a hundred adrift. But skipper Kashif Ibrahim was the hero for the champions as he dismissed, Duncan Robertson, Stuart Collier and Richard Smith in the space of four balls to snatch a sensational late win and leave Eastbourne's title hopes very faint.

Nomads now top the table by 21 points and are a whopping 76 ahead of Eastbourne, who suffered their third defeat in four outings.
