Penn Street vs Hatters

Penn Street vs Hatters

Penn Street 142-6 (G. Culbert 62*; Aftab 3-19) beaten by Hatters 143-7 (Waqas 21; C. Sempill 3-19) by 3 wickets

Penn Street lost their first game of the season against Hatters on Sunday April 20th, despite a great team effort to get themselves in a position where the match was up for grabs.

Setting a total of 143 in 40 overs, we had Hatters 6 down before they'd even put 100 on the board, but the lads couldn't quite finish the job, eventually losing by 3 wickets. Praise should go to George Culbert for a superb, stylish fifty holding our innings together, and also to Calum Sempill for his fantastic spell of 8 overs where he ripped through the Hatters top order with 3 wickets.

Notable performances:

  • George Culbert 62*
  • Martin Hallam 34 (on debut)
  • Callum Sempill 3 for 19



The match was also notable for the return to playing of our Chairman Dave Lander and paceman Reece Raven. Also, welcome onboard to Martin Hallam who opened the innings with a vital 34 that set us on our way.

Both Dave and Reece enjoyed successful comebacks, most notably Dave who reportedly claimed a slip catch and dramatic runout with a direct hit from approximately 60 yards out!!

(Official Measurer - D. Lander !!)

A great effort in the field by all and a highly encouraging start to the season.
