Sands smashes eight sixes

Adam Mansfield scored 60 as Sudbury were bowled out for 180, with support from Ben Reece (23), Richard Stephens (23) and Ollie Carr (26 not out).

But it soon became obvious that it was not enough, and that Tom Osborn (four for 47), Luke du Plooy (three for 26) and Carl Manels (two for 33) had done a good job for the visitors.

Tom Osborn scored 20, but then a 99-run partnership between John Sands (82) and Matthew Peachey (23) took the game away from the hosts.

Sands hit eight sixes and five fours in his innings and left it to Richard Ford to finish the job off with an unbeaten 31, securing victory in 31.4 overs.

Worlington entertain closest rivals Bury St Edmunds on Sunday in what could be a title decider.

Bury matched Worlington’s points haul when opponents Edwardstone called off because they could not raise a team.

Mildenhall hosted Woolpit and they were soon reduced to 17 for three. Joe Reed was once again in good form until he was bowled by H Fiddes for 43. It was left to Jon Giffin, who played a lone hand of 84 to push Mildenhall to a total of 169 for nine from their 40 overs.

In reply Woolpit were always up with the rate but the game was in the balance at 78 for four. Then George Brown (49 not out) and Tom Whiteman (42 not out) steered Woolpit to a six-wicket victory with four balls to spare.

Craig Estlea scored 58 out of an Ampton & Culford total of 189 for nine, helped by Craig Rutterford’s 34.

But Haverhill overhauled that total to win by four wickets with 58 from Ian Youngs and 34 from Dan Poole.

Stowmarket’s T. Madanayake scored his second unbeaten century of the weekend to lead his team past the Brockley total of 191 for a nine-wicket win in Division Two.

Madanayake followed up his 103 not out against Felixstowe on Saturday with 100 not out against Brockley. He was supported by Paul Blake’s unbeaten 79 in the match-winning partnership.

It was the fourth defeat of the season for Brockley, and saw them drop back to third place behind Brettenham, who mounted a successful run chase to beat Mellis.

Mellis had scored 208 for six but M Blenkinsop’s 68 not out and 46 from Matt Gill led Brettenham to a seven-wicket success.

Exning also suffered a setback when they were bowled out for just 89 by Hadleigh and lost by seven wickets.

David Hodge scored 101 not out as Hartest & Coldham secured a nine-wicket win over Earl Stonham, who had been dismissed for 141 thanks mainly to J. Armstrong’s five for 46.

In the MSC Suffolk Alliance a century from former Zimbabwe Test player Douglas Hondo lead Ipswich to a 58-run win at Easton.

Hondo dominated the Ipswich innings of 220 with Dougie Fairbanks making the next-best score, 24. James Boggis took five for 50 for Easton, who were bowled out for 162 in reply with two wickets each for Tom Watson, Chris Bell, Nick Johnson and Jamie de Cosimo. Two runs outs completed the dismissals.

Stradbroke only managed 142 for nine at Sudbourne Hall, with Mike Hugman and Lee Bedwell both scoring 30. Jonny Rice (74 not out) and David Foreman (41) made sure the Hall got home with plenty in hand.

Ben Baldwin’s 78 not out gave Rumburgh a total of 176, but it was not quite enough as Ben Buckmaster (50), Jack Stevenson (37), Darren Philpot (31) and Jack Buckmaster (25) saw Wortham to victory with two wickets in hand.

In Section B Brantham’s James Neale (101 not out) and Steve Smith (79 not out) made light of the Needham Market total of 189 for nine, knocking off the runs without being parted.

Brantham remain third in the table, behind Southwold and St Margarets, who also both won.

Athul Sarangan (60) and Noah Pendle Chambers (67) took Worlingworth to 212 for eight, but a concerted effort by Southwold’s Tim Porter (33), George Mattocks (49), Ryan Moore (54) and Jordan Barber (54 not out) secured victory with four overs to spare.

Martlesham Nomads strugled to 115 for five (Lee Gardner five for 34) and St Margarets rushed to a seven-wicket win in just 17 overs, Paul Allen scoring 63 not out.
