Match Report
On a damp morning after a preceding week of heavy rain, William de Cani’s poor U13 form with the coin continued as he cocked up the toss again, and was invited to bat; de Cani the first wicket to fall in the first over. Alex Coetzee 12, Brad Aldridge 18, Michael Taplin 15 and William Jackman 11 made significant contributions to Longparish’s final total of 108 in which Brad Hooker top scored with a patient 23. A Glaister the pick of the Ropley bowlers with 3 for 23.
In reply, a talented and stylish Ropley side also found batting hard going, reaching 69 from their twenty overs. Brad Aldridge, Oliver Coetzee and Charles Sherwood bowling superbly to take two wickets each and take Longparish through to the next round of the cup.
