Big win for C-grade

THE Wingham C-grade cricket side humbled Old Bar with a 175 run victory at Rec 3 on the weekend.

Jeremy Bartier’s 89 and 44 to both Scott Blanch and Faron Saxby gave Wingham a healthy total of 299 from their 40 overs.

Old Bar in return got off to a good start putting on 63 for the opening partnership, but that was as good as it got for the seasiders with Faron Saxby taking a five-wicket haul, which included four stumpings by wicket keeper Wayne Archer.

Youngster James Neverov took his first senior wicket when he had White caught behind for a duck ending the Old Bar innings at 124.

The C-graders will be watching this week's matches very closely as they have the bye in the final round and only a few points separate them and Taree West from the minor premiership.
