ON a glorious evening, Walkham Valley and Trowbridgers provided a feast of exciting and entertaining cricket.
With some ferocious hitting. Trowbridgers racked up an impressive 131 for 2, with Swebey, Duncan and Stone all contributing handsomely.
Despite such a mammoth score, there were impressive bowling displays from Shutt, Spry, Berry, Dobson and Hills. Walkham?s front line batsmen set about their task with great determination in the face of some tight bowling by openers Sharp and Finneron.
Dobson (26) and Shutt (25) kept up a steady flow with a partnership of more than 50, then Hills kept the momentum going with a stylish 28.
However, the Trowbridgers? more consistent bowling and tighter fielding gave them the edge.
Walkham finished 21 runs short with a creditable 110 for 1 ? one of their best batting displays for some time.
