All three senior sides secured great wins this weekend in scorching conditions! The 1st XI visited Westbury, won the toss and unsurprisingly decided to bat first. Chippenham scored 278-5 in their 50 overs. Tom Young and Rob Woodman got Chippenham off to a great start with a 108 run opening partnership. Rob Woodman scored 52 and Tom Young 33. This was then backed up by Rich Coughtrie 70 not out, Rich Bates 28, and Paul Clifford 39. In reply Westbury started the innings strongly and scored 75 for the first wicket. They then progressed to 193-2. Some excellent bowling from Paul Clifford (5 wickets), Rob Woodman (2 wickets) Rich Bates (1 wicket) and Tom Freegard (2 wickets) put Westbury under a lot of pressure and Westbury were bowled out for 248. A great 30 run win for Chippenham on a fantastic batting track.
The 2nd XI entertained Weston Super Mare at home. Weston batted first and scored 233-5 in their 45 overs. Mark Hannah took 2 wickets and Courtney Earl, Steve Merryweather and Sam Wild took 1 wicket each. In reply, Chippenham knocked off the runs for 3 wickets in 43 overs. Nick Pocock and George Sykes were the pick of the Chippenham batsman scoring 72 and 70 runs each. Hughey Pike then chipped in with 35no. A fantastic 7 wicket win for the 2's!
The 3rd XI travelled to Burbage 2nd XI.Chippenham batted first and scored 203 for 9. Mike Oliver scored 63, Chris Harrison 43 and Kallan George 37no. In reply Chippenham bowled Burbage out for 155. Young leg spinner Pav Lochab got 5-45, Kallan George topped his 37no out with the bat with bowling figures of 3-24 and Andy Cozens got 2-40 in his first game back for Chippenham. A fantastic win!
A fantastic weekend of cricket for the senior teams!
