Oakley Beat Eversley

Oakley played extremely well to beat Eversley today in what turned out a comfortable victory at Wellington College. Oakley recovered from the early loss of Brad Coates, and James Lancaster (17) and Alex Blackall (10) set about building the innings. George Lethaby then made an impressive 21. Sam Bulley (11 n.o on debut) and Julian Worthington with an excellent 20 boosted the score aided by a thumping 6 from Alex Grey taking the total to 110

In reply Eversley got off to a good start before Julian Worthington took the vital wicket of their impressive opener, and terrorised Eversly with a cracking spell of opening bowling superbly assisted by James Lancaster. The two openers were then backed up brilliantly by George Lethaby , Matt Vickers, Matt Clarke and Aaron Brown, with new boys Newcombe, Bulley and Grey also doing their bit.

What impressed the most today was the spirit of the team, the constant backing and helping from the more experienced players, and the overall will to do well. Well done lads.
