Unbeaten Colchester clinch league title

Colchester and East Essex clinched their first Beaumont Seymour Women's Cricket league title in a record-breaking season in which they won every match. They beat Abberton in an exciting top-of-the table clash on Friday evening, in which either team could have claimed top spot.

Abberton, although needing to beat Colchester comprehensively, mounted a strong challenge, but found Colchester in top form with both bat and ball. Colchester won the toss and elected to bat. An excellent 26 (retired) from Minal Patel and 25 (retired) from Carole Warren, supported by Jenny Grinter (12) saw them pile up 106-4 off their 20 overs and seal the five batting points to guarantee their first title. Jackie Wooton was the best of Abberton's bowlers with 2-19.

In reply Abberton, who successfully chased a 100-run target set by Eight Ash Green the previous week, mounted a fierce challenge, led by captain Sally Cade (25 retired), Wooton (18) and Chris Pettman (14 not out). But tight bowling from Colchester's five bowlers made the task too difficult. Kate Golding took 2-15, Patel 2-20, backed up by Sue Davies 1-14, Janet Austin 1-17, and Danielle Lavender 1-20.

EAG 58-3 bt Maldon Jackdaws 57-9 by 7 wickets

They finished on a total of 57 for 9 after their 20 overs. On the bowling side Cheryl Pinch was the most economical with 1 for 3 of her allotted overs. However on her debut bowling performance Chris Cunningham took 5 for 15.
 
In reply, after the loss of  2 wickets fairly quickly EAG were steered home by Sara Alldread (14) and Karen Dredge (15 n.o.).
With the game almost sealed with 5 overs to go Cheryl Pinch (10 n.o.) attempted to finish the game off with a six over the pavilion but she missed dreadfully every ball.
Hannah Scrivener finished off a respectable performance for herself with figures of 2 for 8.

Wivenhoe 81-4 lost to Copford 101-2

Batting first Copford got off to an excellent start with openers S Southgate (28ret) and S Sargont (11). Further bold hitting from Max Harris (25ret) helped Copford to 101 for 2 off their 20 overs. Chris Jones (1-14) and Claire Kelly (1-13) were the only Wivenhoe wicket takers although Rachael Warnes  only conceded 6 runs off her 4 overs.

EAG 100-6) lost to Abberton (101-4) by 6 wickets

Eight Ash Green started of very well with an opening partnership of 51 thanks to Cheryl Pinch (25 RTD) and Sara Alldread (21). However, Green struggled to keep a good run rate going despite the best efforts of Debbie Aylward (18).

Good bowling, especially from Sally Cade (2 for 13) kept the Green to a total of 100 for 6.

 

In reply Abberton started very well which was largely due to the superb batting from Sally Cade (26 RTD) and Susie Goldring (20). Once these two batsmen left the wicket the remaining batsmen made valid contributions to the score eventually getting the required 101 off the penultimate ball for the loss of 4 wickets.

Natalie Baynham took two wickets for 16 runs although this couldn't stop Abberton from winning.

Maldon (83-3) bt Copford (82-8) by 7 wickets

On a hot summer's evening Maldon Jackdaws' captain, Audrey Mitchell, won the toss and invited Copford to bat. S. Southgate(22) and Michelle Snow (retired 26) were the only batsmen to make any inroads into some fine Maldon bowling and fielding. Ruth Smith took 2 for 10 from 3 with her 3rd over being a double-wicket maiden! One of Maldon's young recruits, playing in her first league match, was Megan Creasy and she took 2 for 4 from 1 over with Jen Eva taking 1 for 18 from 4. Audrey used 9 bowlers in all, each one making batting a difficult task for Copford.

Facing 83 to win, the Jackdaws'openers, Audrey Mitchell and Emily Broadhurst went to the crease. Unfortunately the first wicket fell in the first over but this did not deter Audrey (retired 25) and Jen Eva (17) from doing their bit to boost the run rate. Ruth Smith batted maturely for her 15 not out and the winning run was taken on the last ball of the match with a fine stroke from wicket keeper, Emma Webdale.
