A double header against Bourton Vale saw the first cricket of the season, and despite the weather, both games were completed!
The 1st XI were at Dairy Lane and when Powelly decided to lose the toss on a wet one, things could have got tricky! However, Nigel Stanton and Pete Boorman opened the season with and the innings with a stand of 101. Stanton was finally caught for 61 (having apparently been dropped 2.5 times previously!) Nick Holland followed for 5 soon after but Adam Stuart then joined Boorman and they added a further 124 for the third wicket. Boorman was finally run out (tired!) for 87, but with Stuart finishing with 75 not out, Dumbleton posted a highly competitive 244-3 off of their 40 overs.
In reply, Bourton were always up against it. Ben McHardie-Jones bowled a very tight spell taking 2-30 off his 10 overs, Paul Engelbrecht also taking 2-44. Stanton was again in amongst the action taking two spectacular catches and taking 1-15 in 4 overs. Bourton finally succombed scoring 190-8 off of their 40 leaving Dumbleton victorious by 54 runs.
The 2nd XI travelled to Bourton and having won the toss, skipper Bucket inserted the opposition. Mark Rennie proceded to make the easiest caught and bowled look like it was travelling quicker than the space shuttle, but a flurry of early wickets left the home side reeling on 78-7, Bertie Thompson taking 2-15, Simmo taking 2-30
