These two had added 41 in good time before off spinner Sam Harris (1-34) struck. Keeper Chris Matthews pulled off a very smart stumping to remove &#8216;Buzzer&#8217; Beasley for 11. 34 further runs were added before Jack Straw joined the party and dismissed Blake (52). With the scoreboard now reading 75-2, those present were about to witness an amazing transformation to the match!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lead by three further stumpings by Chris and some excellent bowling by acting Captain Max Phillips&#8217; four spinners, Ynystawe were efficiently bowled out for 135 in the 37th over! Taking Sam&#8217;s lead, Jack (2-17), Max (3-22) and Rahul Shah (3-22, all stumped!) destroyed our visitors innings! Ronnie Runout added the candles to the icing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>After the break, Harri Turner and Chris opened up for the Club. They added 27 before Harri (10, 1 four) was adjudged lbw. Craig Meschede joined Chris and these two entertainers saw to it that no other batsman was required, as they combined to clinch a fine victory inside 24 overs. Chris contributed 57no (5 fours) whilst Craig notched 61no (7 fours &amp; a maximum) to see their side through to the next round! A fine team effort to be sure..well done, boys!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Another home tie looms in Round 2 when Gorseinon visit Marespool on 27th June, start 1pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 1st XI eased into R2 of this year&#8217;s 40 over Welsh Cup competition, after comfortably defeating Ynystawe by 9 wickets at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14809"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14809"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14809\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14830,"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14809\/revisions\/14830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
