Woolpit v Copdock & Old Ipswichian Cricket Club 1st XI on Sat 21 Jun 2014 at 11am
Copdock & Old Ipswichian Cricket Club Won by 7 wickets

Match report The First XI travelled to Woolpit on Saturday for a local derby.

Apart from missing Archie Gravel the side was at full strength, although Hugh Thomas had opted for a weekend in the second team. Jaik was away at a wedding which meant we had a debut from Greg Smith of Essex and Derby fame. Felix Ward rejoined the ranks for his first game in the first team this season.

On a very warm Day James East won the toss and decided to bowl again. Although he was definitely the closest to batting so far this season.

The pitch looked like it may well have some carry in it, this was immediately proved to be an incorrect assumption as it was very slow and very flat. Although the captain managed to take a couple of early wickets Woolpit began to have a decent stand and it looked as though bowling first was a mistake.

Woolpit moved to 80-2 and were beginning to get into a strong position. At this point the spinners took over. James turned to Chris Swallow and Greg Smith and they began to turn the screw. From looking like going into lunch 2 down wickets fell quickly and lunch arrived with Copdock having rattled through 42 overs and the score at 120-6. Chris and Greg both with 2 wickets and an excellent run out from Greg.

After Lunch Copdock continued to pile on the pressure and another spinner came into the attack. Tom Jenkin struck straight away to keep himself top of the averages with a couple of quick wickets, Greg then picked up the final wicket to finish with 3 and Woolpit were all out for 163.

A super effort from Copdock once again on a flat track on a very hot day.

The Copdock openers Chris and Greg then strode out to the middle and we wanted a decent start to take any pressure off the run chase. They both started superbly, cleanly hitting boundaries all around the wicket. In fact Greg raced to 77 from 53 balls and it included 16 fours. Chris raced to 30 before falling caught at cover.

Martyn Cull spent some needed time in the middle to score 30 not out, laced with 6 boundaries and Jed scored 27. It was left to Tom Rash to inside edge the winning runs to complete a pretty comprehensive victory for the crusaders.

This week we found out:

Greg's a player
Martyn Cull can bat
Jed's very laid back
Felix is a lovely boy
Warney should always be called Nugget

the future's bright, The future's Copdock
