Another Turner Up for the Books

After the recent successes of Alex Turner (30), it was brother Oli's chance to shine this week with a powerful 64 in Little Hallingbury's 68 run win over a weakened Hockerill IIs. Oli Turner hit 8 fours and 1 six in his innings before falling to an in-swinging yorker from George Powell (1-60), leaving Hallingbury on 182-6. A fifty run partnership for the 8th wicket between Williams (34) and Hore (18) saw Hallingbury to their highest total of the season 254-9. Merv Thompson finished with 3-32 and Daultry 3-50.

Despite restricting to Hockerill's batsmen to 3 runs an over, Hallingbury's fielding performance did not match the batting. 11 chances went begging, 7 or 8 of them easy, allowing Hockerill to make it to 186-9 after 45 overs in fading light. Shyam Bharadwaj finished with 3-50 with Iqbal, economical as ever, unlucky to finish with 0-15 from his 6 overs. Winder top scored for Hockerill with an aggressive 45 before Alex Turner took one of his two chatches off of Bharadwaj.

The victory sets up a tense final 2 games with Hallingbury now just 3 pts behind Hockerill in the fight to avoid relegation from division 4.
