Norton down flat Stellas

CRICKET Norton Nomads sailed into the quarter-finals of the Bath Indoor League Knockout Cup with an easy win over The Stellas.
Alex Lear took 2-12 as Division 1 champions Norton skittled out Division 2's bottom side for 44. Andy Cox (18no) led the reply as Norton reached their target in the sixth over.
Bear Flat Dads were beaten by Bathampton after a brisk opening stand between Jim Painter (14) and Steve Harper(31no) laid the foundation for a challenging total of 112-5. Mike Colbeck took 2-14.
Some measly bowling from Bathampton's Barry Cox (1-14) and a typically bamboozling performance from Steve Dalley-Smith (0-21 with 12 extras) gave Dads little chance in reply. They managed 88-5 off their ten overs as Will Baber scored 21 and Anthony Howard took 2-15.
Hinton Charterhouse posted a great score of 132-2 after being put into bat by Bath Pedigree. Hugh Brooker (38no),John Newport (27no) and Matt Brierley (26no) did most of the damage.
Pedigree were under pressure from the start in reply and could only amass an inadequate 83-4 as Brierley took 2-13.
Bath Exiles and Combe Down also qualified for the quarter-finals as the highest-scoring losers.
Hampset CC have started pre-season indoor net sessions at Beechen Cliff School sports hall and all senior players are welcome.
Sessions take place on Tuesdays from 9-10pm and from 2-4pm on Saturdays, March 12, 26 and April 9. The season begins on April 16.
