Chippenham were just edged out in a fantastic U13 County Cup Final last Wednesday night. It went right to the last ball with Chippenham needing two to win, but a full and straight delivery went straight to cover leaving Chippenham agonisingly one run short.
Swindon batted first on a beautiful evening in front of a large crowd and set a challenging total of 118. Jake Goodwin and Jack Harris both completed their 30 runs before having to retire for Swindon. Kyle George (2/19), Harry Collins (3/22) and Ollie Alcorn (1/16) were the pick of the Chippenham bowlers from their four overs.
Chippenham's run chase was well paced and the run rate never got above 8 an over. H.Collins (retired 30) and James Gaunt (11) put on 46 for the first wicket of 8 overs. Two quick wickets fell before Sam Graham(retired 30) and Todd Richardson (18) left Chippenham needing 18 from the last 3 overs. Sam Enderby and George Roberts came to the wicket needing 6 from 1 over. This came down to 3 from 3 balls when two Swindon players collided going for a catch leading to the Swindon captain Jack Harris having to leave the field with a leg injury. Swindon bowler Harry Chevis held his and Swindons nerve bowling a superb final three balls to leave Chippenham one run short. Swindon now go on to represent Wiltshire against the Dorset champions this month.
