| Winslow
Town Cricket club won its first trophy for a number of years by coming
out on top in the George Blow Cup Final. A youthful Winslow side
performed to the best of its ability with bat and ball and thoroughly
deserved its win with all the members of the team contributing. At times
the aggressive batting of the opposition, in particular Moreton's opener
Paul Stairs, put the Winslow bowlers under pressure but the bowlers were
never dominated and 112 could not be considered a great effort in the
conditions.
Marcus Sales and Paul Stolworthy
provided Winslow with a good platform as they often have done but the
innings wobbled when Sales and skipper Brian Knaves became 2 legs of a
hat-trick. Possibly the crucial moment in the game was reached when
James Gaskins was dropped behind off his first ball - Hamilton missed
out on his hat-trick and Gaskins went on to make sure that Moreton
missed out on the Cup. The 15-year-old went on to make a fine 45 in his
customary breezy style and with some excellent support from Martin Sales
and 14 year old Simon Myatt Winslow eased to a comfortable victory.
