The introduction of young spinner Jack Ronan (3-42) slowed their progress with Nimoda Baroda, Toby Pattemore and Buddika Bandaranayaka all picking up a brace as Port were bowled out for 191 in the 39th over. Broadwindsor’s reply looked dead and buried as a shocking start saw them slump to 25-5, with fine bowling from J.Wroe (4-32) some poor shots and a needless run out hit the home side’s hopes. A superb 118 run partnership for the 6th wicket from Ryan Sweetman (28) and Pattemore (77), his second successive half century including 12 fours and 2 sixes. The next twist saw Pattemore caught on the boundary and the villagers tail couldn’t quite see them over the line.

A late flurry saw the home side reach 162 all out, which looked light on a good track and fast outfield. Richie Runyard blasted a quick fire 35, adding 66 with Adrian Waddington, then the second wicket added a further 70 as Nimoda Baroda stroked a classy 51. Waddington’s patient 41 held the innings together but he fell with the target in sight, leaving Sweetman (19no) and Toby Pattemore (9no), who finished the game with a huge six, to secure the win.
