Cricket: Ventnor in T20 action

Thanks to Graeme for sharing the latest news from Ventnor Cricket Club. Ed


Ventnor take on Sparsholt in the opening round of the Southern Electric T20 Cup at Steephill on Sunday at 1pm.

The match has been switched from the original date of 8 June.

Under 15s play at Steephill
The wet weather meant no play was possible in any of Ventnor’s three scheduled league matches on Saturday.

The only game that went ahead over the weekend was the under fifteen’s fixture with Imberhorne School from Sussex at Steephill.

Batting first, Ben Herridge hit an excellent unbeaten century for Ventnor and with Freddy Marshall scoring an unbeaten 44, the home side totalled 227-5 from their 35 overs.

Ventnor went on to win by 108 runs with the visitors dismissed for 119 in reply, Ben Attrill taking 3-30.

Fixtures
The Club will be hoping the weather relents this weekend to allow Saturday’s games to go ahead:

Havant v Ventnor (Southern Electric Premier Division) Away 1.00
Ventnor II v United Services (Hampshire League Division 1) Steephill 1.00
Ventnor Island League XI v Northwood (Division 1) Away 1.30
