Milborne Port (191 all out) beat Broadwindsor (178 for 9 wkts) by 13 runs
Broadwindsor suffered an agonising 13 run defeat at home to last year’s runners-up Milborne Port on Sunday.

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. Then came a superb 118 run partnership for the sixth 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.

Broadwindsor recorded an 85 run victory over touring team Les Erbs on Saturday.

Joe Hawkins opened with a quick fire 25, and Johno Gudge a rapid 28, but the highlight was a superb maiden century from young Ollie Weatherall, which included 13 fours and 3 sixes, enabling the villagers to reach 213-8 off their 30 overs. In reply, the tourists started well with a stylish 49 from Charlie Campbell, but when he fell to a superb boundary catch from Ryan Sweetman they fell further and further behind the required rate. Experienced spinner Mickey Spiller (3-21) led the way, while 14 year old Freddie Hillier (1-30 off 6 overs) bowled tidily on his debut for the club.

Sun 20th July v Milborne Port CC (Away) - MWL

Broadwindsor (112 for 8 wkts) beat Milborne Port (110 all out) by 2 wkts

The tail wagged slightly but Toby Pattemore (2-16) ended the resistance, and a total of 110 was recorded.
The villagers reply had a disastrous start as Rich Runyard and Dean Hyett went for ducks and it was 1-2. Dan Hillier (24) and Crawford (29) rebuilt but every time a partnership developed a couple of wickets fell as the game swung both ways. Pattemore (20) and Ollie Weatherall (12) added 29 but 11 were still needed when the 8th wicket fell. Nimoda Baroda and Jack Ronan had different ideas in how to clinch the victory, Ronan trying to inch there in singles, but Baroda ensured the crucial victory, slashing a four over the slips then smashing a superb 6 over extra cover to win the match.
