WINDSOR MAKE IT 7 ON THE TROT!

Windsor stroke spin weapon in Ben Harris

finally shown as he destroys Finch taking 7/32

WINDSOR 170
Bevan Malloch 55

defeated

FINCHAMPSTEAD 45
Ben Harris 7/32

Windsor played host to Finchampstead on the weekend and with both side filling 2 of the top 3 spots on the ladder, a tough encounter was expected. Nichols happily won the toss and batted first in quite warm conditions.

After the side came back from skippers Stag in Brighton the day before, the team was most pleased with the result. Non more than the skipper, who could be said, still had the shakes...

Sadly though that's as good as it got for Windsor in the first part of the game, as they lost 4 wickets for 9 runs inside 5 overs! Luckily for them Birch (47) and Malloch (55) steadied the ship and a score of 200+ would have been on the cards if Windsors lower order could have found someone to hang around with Kemp (14*). In the end they had to settle for 170 off 38 overs.

Windsor then looked to attack from the get go with Nichols (3/7) knocking over both openers inside 3 overs. It was then left to Ben Harris (7/32) to dominate the game providing a masterclass in off-spin bowling to hand Windsor a 25 pt win.

Windsor next week take on local rivals Datchet. Windsor must do alot better with the bat if they are going to be any chance of competing with this very strong Datchet side.

WINDSOR MAKE IT SIX IN A ROW!

Hartridge 4/36 with his pace and bounce was too

much for Bagshot on the weekend

BAGSHOT 116
T Hartridge 4/36

defeated by

WINDSOR 6/118
A Weston 41*

Windsor travelled to Bagshot to try their best to extend their run in the TVL. The infamous Bagshot strip with ridges on both lengths and an up down appearance, meant the skipper was delighted to lose the toss! As such Bagshot elected to bat.

Windsor started well with the sublime Kemp lidding a Bagshot batsmen as Nichols (3/30) managed to chip in with wickets. It was then Hartridge (4/36) and Malloch (2/12) who cleaned up the Bagshot middle order on a difficult wicket to score on. When Mohindru (1/5) picked up the final scalp Bagshot were all out 116 in the 33rd over.

In reply Nichols (22) and Birch (17) set about getting the chase finished early. Huggins (21) had similar ideas but Bagshot hung in taking a few wickets to keep things interesting. It was Weston (41*) who guided Windsor home to another win in the 22nd over.

Next week Windsor play host to the formidable Finchampstead. Once again they will need to be at their best to take the points.

WINDSOR MAKE IT 5 IN A ROW!!

"When do i get bowl?"

Mohindru strikes a familiar pose as he personally

accounts for Beac's on the weekend claiming 7/26

BEACONSFIELD 136
Rah Mohindru 7/26

defeated by

WINDSOR 5/137
Oliver Birch 67*

Windsor where lucky enough to keep their unbeaten run in tact this weekend with a gritty 5 wicket win over Beaconsfield.

Having lost the toss, Windsor had to bowl where Kemp and Nichols struggled to contain the batting onslaught. It was not until Mohindru (7/26) entered the fray in the 11th over that the first breakthru was made at 59. With Hartridge (2/19) introduced at the other end, both players bowled superbly in partnership knocking over the Beaconsfield side for 136 in the 33rd over. The total contradicted the fact that Windsor where a little sloppy in the field, and lucky Mohindru could turn up and bowl the spell of the seasun this far...

In reply Windsor lost wickets and made a pretty easy target difficult, fortunatelyBirch (67*) and San Jose (33*) where immune to this and put on the match breaking partnership that secured Windsor the victory.

Windsor has alot of repsect for the Beaconsfield side as they have had to wood on them for the last few seasons, so it was a very pleasing win.

Windsor travel to Bagshot next week, where an improvements all around will be needed to secure another victory.

WINDSOR MAKE IT FOUR!!

Wes Nichols falls 1 run short of a well deserved 100

as Windsor knock off Marlow

WINDSOR 9/207 (39 Overs)
Wes Nichols 99

defeated

MARLOW 82 (29.2 Over)
Brendan Kemp 4/25

Windsor travelled to Marlow amid dour conditions expecting not to play on Saturday. Showers hovering all night and morning didn't give much hope of play but a break i the weather did eventuate and the game was reduced to 39/35 affair.

Windsor lost the toss and where sent in and managed to set an impressive 207, amid quite difficult conditions. Sadly Nichols (99) was run out again trying to score his 100th run, and was well supported by Birch (21), Weston (30) and Huggins (31) as they formed crucial partnerships with the skipper, some thing was missing the previous week.

Not expecting to knock the home sides quality batting over in such a small amount of time, Windsor where confident of at least restricting them to the total set. But all that changed when Kemp (4/25) bowled his best spell of the season on the bouncing seaming wicket to cut the heart out of the Marlow top order. With Nichols (2/32) getting the prize scalp of Paskins at the other end and Tom Hartridge (2/12) bowling some genuine gas, Malloch (2/12) was left the wrap up the game for Windsor with 8 5 overs remaining.

Windsor next week play host to the quality Beaconsfield, and must replicate this same kind of effort to keep the run going.

WINDSOR MAKE IT THREE IN A ROW!

Wes Nichols top scored with 73 as Windsor

accounted for Cove on the weekend

WINDSOR 213
Wes Nichols 73
Adam Weston 55

Defeated

COVE 2's 115

Windsor were fortunate enough to continue their winning run on the weekend as they played host to Cove.

Windsor won the toss and batted first on a pristine batting surface, but really fell short in being dismissed for 213 in 50 overs. It was a feeble effort from the middle/lower order as Nichols (73) and Birch (28) put on an opening stand of 87 after 20 overs. Only Weston (55) can hold his head high as Windsors middle order failed to take advantage of the outstanding conditions.

Luckily Windsors bowling did not misfire as Kemp (1/16), Hartridge (2/6) and Malloch (1/12) did the early damage. It was then the spinners turn to get some overs under their belt after missing out in the last 2 games, as Mohindru (3/32) and the outstanding 18 year old Harris (3/27) who seems to be able to turn a ball on any surface square finished things off in the 40th over.

Windsor travel to Marlow next week who are certain to be very difficult to tame on their home ground, but fingers crossed Windsor can continue the good form and put in a good effort to extend the good run in the TVL.
