Totnes Club and Harberton Cricket Club played out a competitive friendly 20/20 cricket match at the HCC home ground on a perfect summer evening with a stunning moorland backdrop. TTC got off to a very good start and all of the first five batsmen scored well, in particular Josh Orrell and Jeff Cornish. Batting sensibly well down the order, TTC scored a very creditable 113 from their 20 overs. In reply HCC really struggled at first against very accurate TTC bowling and at one stage were 5 for 3 with Jos Woolford showing great agility to bowl and catch the wicket of Alex Lintott. However, Heath steadied the innings and then the experienced Shepherd and Tobias shared a match-winning partnership. Accelerating at just the right time they got HCC home in the final over. It was a very close and a very enjoyable game. TTC must be congratulated for their skilful and sporting contribution to a great game of cricket and made the switch from racket to bat look effortless.
