Congratulations indeed to Dave Winn on some superb batting and to Naude and then Greenwood for sticking with him! The tension must have been huge – your Editor missed it all being on a family fshing excursion. Enormous pressures – on the batsmen and then, as HP’s score advanced, on the fieldsmen and, ultimately, on the umpires. Back to the beginning, Parnell’s early order for once failed dismally but Dave Goddard led a spirited recovery with solid support from Tom Hills and young Josh Fisher. Billy Sanger chimed in at the end with a very useful 17 to give the bowlers something to work on. And ther bowlers did respond – brilliantly! Wickets tumbled including Glenn Phillips, a rising star who hit 20 off just 13 balls before being caught by Josh off Tom Hills. Hillsy had already picked up Walsh and then had their skipper, de Boorder, caught by Tim at slip. Rav hit next trapping the younger Phillips lbw – 34/4 and it was all Parnells. Another to Hillsy, then two to Mitch McCann. Billy Sanger had success thanks to a superb catch on the boundary by Ben Rainger – 106/8 and the game was, to all intents and purposes, in the bag! Not according to Dave Winn, HP’s no. 5 – he then proceeded to play the innings of his life. Naude gave solid support and helped take the score to 147 before being caught by Dave off Rav. Last man in – still 47 needed. Greenwood, no. 11, held the fort at one end whilst Winn continued on. One disputed caught behind was disallowed, Winn’s ton came up and then, eventually with another 7 ball left, the winning hit to take the total to 198 and a quite etraordinary win to Howick Pakuranga. Again congratulations to Dave Winn , a masterly ton! Batting comeback – Tom Hills (left) and Skipper Dave Goddard Two aspects of Josh Fisher Celebrating Ben Rainger’s superb boundary catch Tom Hills – he took the first 3 wickets and Rav – they had the game all but won Billy Sanger and Mitch McCann with the ball BUT, OUT ON THE GULF AND MISSING ALL THE HISTRIONICS AT LLOYD ELSMORE – CATCH OF THE DAY WENT TO YOUR EDITOR! ADDING TO HIS REPUTATION AS ANOTHER HUNTER/GATHERER! Men’s Premier Reserve Grade: Limited (50) Overs Minor Championship 22 Oct. Parnell vs. Grafton United at Shore Road Reserve 1a. PARNELL 253/7 (50) Schalk Conradie 67, Ryan Turner 87* GRAFTON UNITED 96 Karun Phogat 4/23 (10), Rudi Bisschoff 2/15 (6.2), Elliot Jaffe 2/11 (6) RESULT: PARNELL WON BY 157 RUNS ACTING CAPTAIN, RYAN TURNER, REPORTS: Having been washed out the previous week, the Reserves were looking to start their season in style against Grafton at Shore Road. Stand-in skipper Ryan Turner got the team off to a great start by losing the toss, only to be flummoxed by Grafton's decision to bowl first on an artificial pitch and a sublime outfield. Not a team to look a gift horse in the mouth, the Reserves set about their business of building a competitive total for Grafton to chase. Unfortunately, early wickets made this pursuit difficult with only Matt Vercoe-Curtis from the top four applying himself for a solid 22. However, with his dismissal, Parnell were in a spot of bother at 49/4 in the 13th over. Parnell's new international recruit, Schalk Conradie, and skipper Ryan Turner then set about a recovery job. By waiting for the bad ball and rotating the strike, the pair built a resolute partnership of 117 in 23 overs. Schalk playing his first game for Parnell, displayed a strong repertoire of shots all around the ground, with some sublime straight drives being the highlight. With his dismissal for a well crafted 67 and Parnell at 166/5, there was a need to build on this foundation for the final 15 overs. The lower order was up to the challenge and some lusty blows propelled Parnell to a very competitive 253/8, with Ryan ending unbeaten on 87. Parnell's bowlers then came out full of venom and intent. Karun Phogat, another new recruit, was devastating and ripped out Grafton's top four in short order, with one batter losing his middle stump after not playing a shot. Karun ending with fantastic figures of 4- 23 from 10 overs. But this was not just a one man show. The old hand Rudi picked up two wickets with some accurate bowling and Elliot Jaffe, playing his first game for the Reserves, bowled with intent and also picked up two wickets, including Grafton's only set batsman. With this decisive blow, the game was effectively in the bag. And, although Grafton's lower order showed some application, this merely delayed Parnell's march to the finish. Grafton all out for 96 in the 40th over. As always, there are elements that can be improved. But, overall, a very encouraging start to the Reserves season. Matthew Vercoe=Curtis at the crease with Ryan Turner – Ryan, your new spec sure make a difference! Schalk Conradie – a solid 67 and Karun the destroyer! THIRDS – 3b Grade: Limited (50) Overs Minor Championship 22 Oct. Parnell vs. Suburbs new Lynn at Riversdale Rd SUBURBS NL 115 (30) Pete Hickman 3/26 (9), Gavin Poole 3/3 (3) PARNELL 117/4 (19.3) Ben Aveyard 49*, Hayden Storey 19 RESULT: PARNELL WON BY 6 WICKETS Tom Urry stood in as captain for this game and the team chalked up a resounding success. SNL were totally out classed. First, Pete Hickman bowled unchanged and with a great deal of hostility. Our skipper, likewise, had them at sixes and sevens with his pace and bounce and, finally, Gavin cleaned up the tail and helped his average no end. Congratulations to Ben Aveyard – a good solid knock in which only the winning of the game stopped him recording his first half century for Parnell. The standard of the opposition’s bowling was disappointing. Hayden was greeted by a succession of full tosses most of which were no balled and the win was brought up in the 20th over without any scares. ######## DINNER To be held in the Logan Campbell Room of the Northern Club, 19 Princes Street, Auckland, Friday, 28 October 2016, 7.00 for 7.30pm To celebrate Ian Trott’s 10th Season as Head Coach of our Premier Grade and Jocelyn Goodger’s 20th Season as our Premier Grade Scorer Great response - just a couple of tickets available – [email protected] or phone Bryan Haggitt on 021 0264 5021 ######## Early Season Programme Premier Grade (Saturdays except for : Sunday play Highlighted, Wednesday T20s in red) 29 & 30 October vs Cornwall Cornwall Park 1 Hedley Howarth Trophy 5 & 6 November vs Papatoetoe Shore Road Res. 1 Hedley Howarth Trophy 12 & 19 November vs Suburbs NL Shore Road Res. 1 Hedley Howarth Trophy 26 Nov. & 3 Dec. vs Howick Pakuranga Lloyd Elsmore Pk 1 Hedley Howarth Trophy 30 November vs Cornwall Shore Road Res. 1a T20 (Pool 4) 7 December vs Grafton United Shore Road Res. 1a T20 (Pool 4) 10 & 17 December vs Takapuna Shore Road Res. 1 Hedley Howarth Trophy Recommencements post Christmas: Jeff Crowe Cup Round 4 7 January T20 Round 3 11 January Hedley Howarth Trophy Round 6 28 January Premier Reserve Grade 29 October vs Kumeu Huapai Domain 1 Minor Limited Overs (50) 5 November vs Howick Pakuranga Lloyd Elsmore Pk 2 Minor Limited Overs (50) 12 & 19 November vs Kumeu Orakei Domain 1 2 Day Minor Championship 26 Nov.
