Carew win Jubilee Cup

Published

on

CAREW claimed the 2017 Jubilee Cup on Tuesday (Jul 31), as they beat Neyland by six wickets.

The game had been called off last year due to bad weather and had been re-arranged to take place this year.

It is the penultimate the time the trophy will be played for after it was confirmed that the 2018 Jubilee Cup Final will be the last one to be played between the Division 1 winners and Harrison Allen Bowl winners.

Carew won the toss and asked Neyland to bat first with light rain sprinkling the pitch on a couple of occasions throughout the game.

Paul Murray and Patrick Bellerby got Neyland off to a steady start in their innings with a stand of 20 before Carew’s Max Brindley bowled Murray on a score of 9.

Bellerby and Scott Jones shared another 18 runs before Bellerby was also bowled by Tudor Hurle on a score of 14.

Jones then shared an excellent stand of 36 with Nick Koomen before the former was trapped leg before by Tom Davies.

That left Neyland on 74-3 and it was so nearly four but Koomen was dropped on a score of 25. He then made them pay for that drop, clubbing the next ball for four.

Koomen and Andrew Miller brought up Neyland’s 100 in the fourteenth over before Koomen reached his fifty with a six at the start of the sixteenth over.

It looked as if Neyland would go on to post a good total but they then lost three quick wickets.

Miller edged behind to Tom Scourfield on a score of 16 to give Shaun Whitfield his first wicket and Davies then bowled Henry Durrant on a score of 1.

Whitfield then claimed his second as he bowled Koomen on a score of 64 as Neyland slipped to 135-6.

A no ball gave Neyland a free hit which they scored three off as George Evans finished not out on 10 and Sean Hannon not out on 4 to see Neyland to a total of 147-6.

Tim Hicks and Shaun Whitfield then got the Rooks off to a flying start in their inning as they shared 61 runs for the first wicket.

Whitfield hit seven fours as he scored 38 but he was then run out by a good bit of fielding from Patrick Hannon.

Hicks scored 25 but he was then bowled by Andrew Miller as Neyland hit back.

Tom Scourfield scored just four before he was caught by Sean Hannon off the bowling of Henry Durrant reducing Carew to 84-3.

Tom Davies then shared 31 runs with Luke Hicks as they edged towards their target. That partnership was broken when Hicks was bowled by Koomen on a score of 16.

Carew reached 122-4 after seventeen overs needing 26 to win off eighteen balls. Davies kept his cool with a number of fours and then two sixes in the nineteenth over to reach his half century.

He finished not out on 52 to see Carew to victory.
