Shane Abnett, Jack Glover, Beau Abnett, Jono Nicholls and Paul Potts.
The Harden Hornets took on the Bookham Bulls at the Bookham Showground on Saturday, to the sound of B-Double trucks whizzing past. The six-stitcher motored to the wooden picket fence boundary just as quick.
The Bulls were successful with the toss or should we say Hornets skipper for the day Paul Potts, lost it. Bookham batted first and sent out Elliott Southwell and Sam Sellers to face the music of Jeff Brown and Nathan Anderson. Southwell hit a 4 and in doing so broke his bat. The first ball after it was replaced, he was clean bowled. Macauley came in and he and his partner Andrew Harding took the score to 52 when Harding was dismissed for a well compiled 44 runs. Harding went soon after for 43. Their tail didn’t offer much resistance and Bookham were all-out 135. For Harden Ben Davis off his 8 overs captured 4 wickets for 19, Jack Glover 2 for 19 off 5 while Nathan Anderson claimed 1 for 21 off 8 overs.
Harden Hornets had the task in front of them but settled down in fine style.
Ben Davis and Jayson Smith began the chase for our men. Both of them hit fours initially before heading for the Grandstand and shelter from the blustery wind. This brought Nathan Anderson and Jeff Brown to the batting crease and with just what Harden wanted, the pair made the sparks fly. In a brilliant partnership of 127 runs, they polished off the Bookham tally in fine style. Anderson and Brown both scored 54 runs not-out and recorded their team a superb victory of just 2 wickets for 136 runs. The pair hit 17 fours and 2 sixes between them.
Saturday sees the Hornets play the Yass Rugby Club House Horns on Harden’s Tim Doolan Oval.
WINGS.
