Halstead Cricket Club Lost by 7 wickets

Match report Halstead - 109 all out - lost to Witham - 113-3 - by 7 wickets

Halstead were outplayed in all areas as Witham romped to a 7 wicket victory with 23 overs to spare on Saturday.

Having been put in to bat, Shaun Bragg (3-18) wrought havoc with the Halstead top order, Graham Wickes (0) and Chris Rayner (0) both failing to trouble the scorers - the pair caught by Forster Mutizwa and Jake Wakelin respectively.

Josh Ruthven (14) was bowled to give Bragg a third wicket, before Charlie Douglas-Hughes (0) fell to Cody McDonald (1-23), leaving Halstead at 34-4.

It was soon 37-5 in the tenth over as skipper Josh Wells (13) was trapped lbw by his Witham counterpart Jake Wakelin (3-37).

Craig Spooner (25) and Josh King (11) provided some resistance, adding 30 for the sixth wicket, but the pair both departed to Wakelin to compound the misery at 70-7.

Sam Chapman (23) and Joe Morris (13) went down fighting, hitting five boundaries between them but were victims of Greg Stephens' (2-22) left arm spin, with Sam Walter (1) the final man out, Stephens taking a catch off Leroy Facey (1-3) as Halstead limped to 109 all out.

Halstead got off to an excellent start in their attempts to defend a hugely sub-par total, with Wakelin (1) finding the hands of Josh King off Joe Morris (1-10) and Michael Godwin (6) run out by Sam Chapman, the scores on 30-2 from 11 overs.

That would be as good as it got for the visitors, however, as James Smith (49) and James Suett (42*) put on the pivotal partnership, the pair continued to go well as they both approached their half-centuries.

Ed Clark (1-11) had Smith caught one run short of his 50, but Witham eased across the line, Cody McDonald (8*) hitting two boundaries as the hosts wrapped things up before 4 pm.
