Match report Loughborough Town 177-8
Ashby Hastings 181-5
Ashby win by 5 wickets

Ashby Hastings started their season with a superb win at Loughborough Town.

After winning the toss Ashby Hastings captain, Tom Yates, asked the hosts to bat. Things could not have started much better for Ashby as Richard Lewis picked up his first wicket of the season with just the second ball of the game, an excellent yorker which crashed into the stumps. Mike Davies soon followed suit with his first wicket as Simon Moore took a nice catch at cover. Loughborough were on the ropes and after 10 overs were 23-2.
The Loughborough batsmen showed resilience and frustrated Ashby through the middle overs, however Ashby did very well to restrict the hosts to under 4 runs per over. Sam Perkins came into the bowling attack and managed to break the partnership by bowling the Loughborough batsman for 92. This bought about a mini collapse for the hosts, with 6 wickets falling in the last 15 overs. Perkins finished with four wickets and this was accompanied by two run outs. Loughborough finished their innings with 177 runs.
Captain Tom Yates lead from the front in the run chase as he batted superbly for 59. He was supported by Spencer Clark and Eddy Ikin, who also batted nicely. Ashby looked in control of the chase and Richard Lewis came in and made sure of the victory with some powerful hitting.
Ashby host Twycross next Saturday and will look to follow up an excellent start with another victory.
