Newton Tracey V Ilfracombe September 15th
Newton's record breaking side v Ilfracombe where the home side hit 510 -7 having declared after 44.2 overs.
Barnstaple & Pilton V Newton Tracey Sept 8th MATCH REPORT TO FOLLOW Newton Tracey v Holsworthy (League Cup final) 9th Sept With many players sporting hangovers from the previous days celebrations, Newton were pleased to be batting first. Indeed 9 of the side could have turned up 2 hours late without being needed as the prolific league cup partnership of Screech and Gear continued only to be broken when Gear was caught playing a nervous shot on 99. To be continued.....
Newton Tracey v N.Molton Sept 2nd MATCH REPORT TO FOLLOW North Devon 3rds v Newton Tracey 2nds 16 September
In a match that Newton needed to
obtain a minimum of 8 points from to get promotion, Colin did
the sensible thing and insert the home team on an Instow pitch
suited to batsmen. Regular 1st XI batsman Dan Pickard took toll
of Newton's bowlers shorn of 3 regular bowlers, Jo Burford, Bill
and Mark, bolstered by Gary Chatham and Worm, bowled well but
Dan hit a magnificent 170, innings only ended by Gary, having
bowled his heart out on a very flat pitch trying to bowl
quickly, defeating him with an off break! The next highest
batsman hit 37, but the bowlers generally toiled, Gary taking 3
for 63 in 7 overs, Jon Whormsley 2-44 in 9 and Andy Chatham
getting one with his loopy leg breaks,. North Devon had a young
side; apart from Colin Payne, playing a lot of colts, including
the Clarke twins who live in Lovacott next door to Brian
Tilbury. North Devon ending up on 286 for 7 in their 45 overs.
Newton needed to score therefore
at over 6 per over though the wicket was still firm and true
despite a few light showers during the innings and rapidly
depleting light. Graham Moore and Jon Whormsley opened;
Whormsley having hit 66 in the run riot the day before, and
calmly put on 180 for the first wicket at about a run a ball,
before Colin Payne got one through Whormsley who was hitting out
having pulled his hamstring. Graham continued on to his century
and ploughed on with first Paul Bitmead, and then Andy Chatham
towards victory. Graham eventually tiredly had his leg stump
knocked out the ground for his 2nd best ever score of 135 with
5, yes 5 sixes, and departed with about 10 needed. Gary Chatham
came out to ensure that his Saturday team-mates did not
celebrate victory as he hit the winning runs as the sun was
setting on the horizon off the 3rd ball of the final over, to
ensure Newton's promotion next year to Division 4, in 2nd place
