Potters Bar v Northwood Town Cricket Club Sunday XI on Sun 03 Aug 2014 at 1pm
Northwood Town Cricket Club Lost by 140 runs

Match report Missing regular skipper JB, Town suffered a heavy defeat to a talented young Potters Bar side in the Chess Valley League.

Having lost the toss, Town were always going to be up against it on a flat deck and 17 year old opening batsman Harry Palmer, clearly a prodigious talent, produced a magnificent 150 not out to take the game away from a Town side missing a number of their regular bowlers. Town had a chance to catch Palmer on 99 as he lobbed up a catch to cover off a slower ball from Lister, but once the catch went down Palmer put his foot down again to reach a spectacular milestone.

Despite Potters Bar notching up 351, it was not all bad news for Town as Khetia produced a fine spell of controlled seam bowling to take 3 wickets in his 10 overs, comfortably recording the best figures of the Town attack. Andy Burt also took his first wicket for the club with a ripping leg break that bamboozled all but debutant Amit Raja behind the stumps who took an excellent catch.

In reply, the target of 352 was never really on but Town applied themselves well to post 211 from their overs. Michael Lister produced the major contribution with a hard-earned 89 as he mixed attack with defence to good effect, silencing some of the more vocal members of the Potters Bar side with some sweetly struck cover drives and a huge straight six. Lister's partnerships of 55 with Andy Burt (13) and 81 with Jamie Cotton (32), as well as some lusty blows at the end from Harshil Palan and Sumeet Khetia enabled Town to reach a decent total but they fell some way short of the huge target set by Potters Bar.
