FROCESTER OUTGUN STROUD IN FINAL OF HUNTSMAN CUP 2010
(Phil Biggs of Huntsmans presents Frocester's Chris Whincup with the Senior K.O. Cup Trophy)
A youthful Frocester side took to the field on Friday evening in front of a large crowd, in the
re-arranged final of the Huntsman Cup at Kings Stanley CC, facing old rivals Stroud.Batting first
Frocester were given a flying start when Chris Whincup hit 18 off the first over.The score proceeded
to rattlle on as Chris was ably supported by Tom Wand.There was no respite for Stroud as Whincup's
dismissal only brought Ashley Davis into the fray,and his quickfire 46 kept the pressure on the
Stroud side.They tried to protect the boundaries but could do nothing to stop Ashley predominantly
taking the aerial route before his dismissal unsuprisingly caught on the boundary. Tom Wand was
finally dismissed for a cultured 45,but Mike Lewis proceeded to make 23 off the last two overs as
Frocester set Stroud 166 to win.For Stroud both Chris Job and Ben Morgan captured two wickets each.
When Stroud batted the young Frocester attack of Ollie Jones, Lewi Towell,Mike Lewis, Richie Cave
and Richard Woodmason never let the Stroud batsman get anywhere near the required rate,and with
wickets falling regularly it was left to Chris Job 37 and Martyn Kimber 25to take Stroud through
to just over 100 runs of their allotted twenty overs. The trophy was presented to the winning
Frocester captain Chris Whincup by Phil Biggs of Huntsmans who were sponsoring the event for the
first time. Results of previous rounds appear here.
