TODAY IS:

Forest Row, Sponsored By Flora Pro Activ, Visited Ansty on a Hot & Sunny Sunday. Row Won The Toss & Elected To Bat On A Wicket Of Easy Pace & Bounce. Row Opened With Britt & Paul Rowe Against J Nutter & Freeman, Who Had Rowe (6) Caught Behind. Parsons Quickly Entered The Attack. With Unerring Bounce & Accuracy, Dried Up The Runs From One End. He Clean Bowled Brownlie (3), Then Trapped Britt (22) Lbw. At 54-4, ‘Row Were Struggling, With Not Much Batting To Come. Westmuckett Joined N.Divall, Who Gradually Turned The Tide ‘Rows Way. The Pair Added 89, With The Majority Of Runs Coming In Fours. Divall Passing Fifty, As He Dominated The Stand. Westmucketts’ (20) Dogged Supporting Role Was Finally Ended When He Gloved A Lifter From C.Nutter. With Only The Tail To Come, Divall Took Successive Fours To Raise His First Ton Of The Season. He Fell Soon After For A Magnificent 102. Shortly After Tea Was Taken. Row 175-7.
In Reply, ‘Row Opened With M.Divall & Adam Webb. Webb Gave ‘Row A Dream Start With 2 Wickets In His 2nd Over. Upon Bowling C.Nutter, The Ball Hit ‘Keeper N.Divall On The Temple – Who Was Not Dazed Enough To Take A Catch 3 Balls Later. Webb Then Had Hill (0) Well Caught By Brownlie, Mowforth (0) At Slip And M.Divall, Not To Be Denied Had Senadhira (15) Caught Behind. Ansty, 17-5. With Still Batting To Come, But With Runs To Play With, Dan Hyde Came With His Leg Spin. He Foxed J Nutter Into Presenting A Return Catch, For His Maiden ‘Row Wicket. Whilst Benham Was There A Combative Draw, At Least Was Still On. He Looked In Good Touch When Hyde Finally Lured Him Down The Track To Be Stumped For 32. This Brought The Mighty Parsons To The Wicket. Ed Stokes At The Other End, Joined The Fray, Bowling Janman(5). Parsons (10) Was Lining His Sights When He Picked Out Paul Rowe In The Deep, To Give Stokes A 2nd & ‘Row Victory.
