Great Horkesley Cricket Club First Team v Colchester & E Essex 3rds on Sun 29 Apr 2007 at 1.00pm
Great Horkesley Cricket Club Won 6 runs

Match report Allan Conybeare's reign as captain got off to a winning start with a six run win over Colchester & East Essex 3rds on Sunday afternoon. Set 177 to win, the visitors could only manage 170 before they were bowled out with a ball remaining.
On a bright sunny April day, Conybeare won the toss and, with just nine Horkesley players to chose from, decided to bat first and hopefully put on a competitive target. That they did was thanks in part to the first half century of the campaign for the Zimbabwean.
Useful cameos from James Wallis (24)and debutant Stuart Taylor (16) inched the Hawks ever closer to a decent score before Peter Hewitt (37) helped massage the tail to a total of 176 all out.
C&EE, who fielded twelve players during the game but only had eleven on the field at any one time, got off to a steady start before Paul Hart and Chamoth Jayasuriya applied the brakes by taking four quick wickets.
Conybeare and former captain Laitt continued the stranglehold but as the overs ran out, there was controversy over the length of the innings. After a toss of the coin, it was decided that the visitors had 45 overs in which to attain their target and despite some useful knocks by skipper George Fisher and O Parrish, ultimately fell six runs short as Graeson Laitt showed his experience to ensure that if the batsmen missed, the wicket would be broken.
All in all it was a good work-out for the Hawks as the prepare for the season ahead. Without many of their first team players, it looks as though the Chantrymen will have many more victories in the months ahead.
