Purbrook v Portsmouth 19 June 2001

Some much improved fielding and bowling saw Purbrook limit Portsmouth to 135 for 3. Figgins (1-33) T.Jones (1-29) and Sammes (1-12)taking the wickets aided by catches from Figgins and Colban. Shaw (45no) and Easton (28) did most of the run-scoring.

Purbrook started their innings full of optimism, but a couple of silly run-outs and careless shots saw them reduced to 5 for 3 in 2 overs.

The writing was on the wall after that, although Sammes (14), Middleton (9), T. Jones (8) and Colban (7) did put up some resistance.

Purbrook were eventually bowled out for 61 in the 16th over.

Purbrook: S.Figgins, B.Jones, W.Sammes, T.Jones, P.Middleton, H.Bell, S.Bennett, M.Colban, S.Pearce, P.Mill, M.Burnett.
