| Kenworthy sets up 9 wicket victory for Henley |
On what was forecasted to be the hottest day of the year, Henley arrived at Peppard CC in somewhat overcast conditions. Having won the toss, Peppard captain, Asquith, opted to bat first.
Peppard got off to a good start with both Brock and Legg playing a couple of sweetly timed shots to the boundary. The first wicket went, when Brock miss-timed a shot straight to mid-off. At 45-1, Peppard then started to lose wickets at regular intervals with no further partnerships to note. Kenworthy, fresh back from a winter training course down-under, was in imperious form with the ball as he gained figures of 4-12 as he tore through the Peppard middle order. With the other spinners taking wickets at regular intervals, Peppard succumbed to 122 all out.
Henley, set 123 to win, did not get off to the best of starts, with Davison top edging a pull shot behind to Brock with the gloves. However, with Kendrick (43no) finding some decent form early on in the season, and the young Brisland (60no) playing some fine shots whilst at the crease, Henley made light work of chasing down the target and in just the 19th over, saw themselves cruise to a 9 wicket victory.
Next weekend see’s Henley travel to Stoner.
