After being put into bat Cricklade's opening batsmen got off to a solid 
start. Poulton's early bowling restricted the opportunities to a minimum. 
But in Steve Nash's 3rd over Roy pulled a massive 6 over square leg and 
from this point dominated proceedings for the next 20 or so overs. As Poulton's 
fielders scattered across the field Roy, just smashed the ball over their 
heads and around them, scoring 11 x 6's and 12 x 4's on his way to a massive 
146. Poulton's bowling attack never lost heart and attacked the other batsmen 
whenever they could. Matt Coleman taking 2 valuable wickets. Wayne Tinson 
eventually found the key to dismiss Roy, who was caught at mid-wicket by 
Craig Musty. Once he was out, Johnny Gardiner closed off the Cricklade innings 
taking 4 wickets but the 246 total turned out to be a good score.
In reply, Poulton stuttered early on losing 2 early wickets, but Neil Moss 
and Matt Coleman steadied the innings and always kept the scoreboard ticking 
over. Neil Moss looked impressive as he hit 7 x 4's on his way to his first 
50 for the club and Matt Coleman looking assured in his 38. With this pair 
at the wicket Poulton looked capable of running Cricklade close, but with 
after they were out in successive overs the task seemed to slip away. Wayne 
Tinson and Steve Nash did their best to keep things ticking along, but the 
run rate was creeping up. Tinson treating the leg spinning Roy with disdain 
as he clipped a ball off his legs for 4 and then flat batted another past 
mid-on. Roy however had the last laugh deceiving Tinson who chipped the 
ball up and was out for 16. This was effectively the end of Poulton's challenge 
and Steve Nash was stumped as he became impatient to move the score along. 
Poulton ended up 86 runs short, ruing a number of dropped catches from Roy.
