Somerset Cricket League, Division Three: South Petherton 224-9 (35pts) defeated Chard 138 all out (15pts) by 66 runs
Chard Cricket Club seconds made in four defeats in four as they faced in-form South Petherton on Saturday (May 31).
After running Wiveliscombe close last time out at home, Chard were hoping for another improved performance when they took on South Petherton.
However, the hosts won the toss and elected to bat and they made runs early with Adam Young scoring 64 and Paul Acreman getting 48 early doors.
None of the other home batsmen were able to breach 20 runs as Chard bowlers Henry Green, Joe Draper, Neil Wyatt and Liam Cleal all took multiple wickets to reduce them to 224-9.
Where South Petherton had a couple batsman to get decent scores, that’s where Chard Seconds were lacking as opener Dan Parsons top scored with 25. Paul Johnson got 23 and Yousiah Shazad scored 20. The rest got a combined 48 runs as Chard were bowled out for 138.
Meanwhile the firsts hosted Taunton Deane Seconds at home and managed to secure a 44 runs victory in the Somerset Cricket League Premier Division.
