CUTCOMBE chalked up their second win of the season in Division Three of the West Somerset Cricket League when they beat Cannington at Wheddon Cross on Saturday afternoon.

After being put into bat Cutcombe struggled against the bowling of Dave Hoveman who claimed two early wickets before Ned Binding, who made 30, and Ben Pursey, who hit 21, steadied the situation.

Hoveman returned to remove Ned Binding, while at the other end Sibin Abraham was causing the home batters all sorts of problems, with the exception of ‘keeper Lennon Howe.who made 16.

Dave Hoveman also had the impressive haul of five for 35 from his nine overs, one of which was a maiden.

When Cannington responded they also found runs hard to come by as James Gregory and Ben Pursey claimed the top six wickets to fall.

At the top of the order only skipper William King reached double figures before he was bowled by Gregory for 15.

Lower down Daryl Lush was the only other Cannington batter to reach double figures, going onto make 30 before he was caught by Mike Kidner off the bowling of Mark Matravers as the visitors were all out for 83 in 26.3 overs

Gregory was the pick of the home bowlers, sending down nine overs and taking three wickets for 22, Ben Pursey claimed three for 26 off his seven overs, two of which were maidens while Matravers came on later in the innings and finished with two wickets for two runs from his three overs, with one maiden.
