Cricket: Playdon knock not enough to save B and F from Marton defeat

Club Friendly

Bourton and Frankton v Marton

Marton 264 for 7

Bourton and Frankton 148 all out

Marton won by 116 runs

A knock of 72 from James Playdon was not enough to prevent Bourton and Frankton from suffering their heaviest defeat of the season so far on Sunday as Marton completed a 116 run success at The Field.

Batting first the visitors recovered from an early loss to rack up a target of 264 for 7.  Opener Rubans Sugartharubans was initially instrumental with a fine boundary-ridden knock of 96, backed by Jay Singh making an equally hard-hitting 81. Bourton’s attack saw Karl Quinney stem the initial flow by returning 2 for 26 off 8 overs with George Smith mopping up late on with 3 for 67 and Stuart McQuillan taking 2 for 29.

Already missing three of their regular top order batsmen, the host’s reply did not get to a great start as they were reduced to 20 for 3 early on, Alan Evans taking two of his eventual 3 for 32. Mick Waller initially held firm with 17 before Malcolm Smith hit 20 in mid-order. James Playdon was to then add further substance to the home side’s innings with his 72 including nine boundaries and two sixes proving Bourton’s top score. However his departure, the third of Lawrence Truslove’s trio of wickets for 18, signalled the final knockings of the host’s innings as they were bowled out for 148.
