Thanks to Graeme for this update from Ventnor Cricket Club. In his own words. Ed
In their latest pre-season match, Ventnor won a tight contest with Merrow by 17 runs at Steephill on Saturday.
Neil Westhorpe (77) and David Beven (58) helped Ventnor to 200-6 from their 40 overs before a fine spell of 5-15 from Hugh Calloway saw the Surrey Championship side fall just short of their target.
