SOA v Hampshire Hogs, Tuesday 9 July 2013

Hampshire Hogs 169 all out (Bradley Bopp 5 for 15), SOA 170 for 6 (Bradley Bopp 92*, Nick Bishop 28*).

Match Managers Comments – “On a day when the SOA XI boasted possibly the oldest and youngest playing members, it also bore testimony to the stern hand of the selector when I was told that the ‘driver’ of our ‘guest overseas’ player, Bradley Bopp, would probably have his kit and would like a game – I stood firm and insisted that we would retain the services of late replacement, 12-year old Tom Ettridge, and dismissed the services of the ‘driver’ – only to find out the driver was former South African star, Nantie Hayward! 12-year old SOA rising star keeps out former South African pro the stuff of SOA legend perhaps – selection vindicated though with Tom

bowling a tidy eight overs and picking up spectacular one handed return catch late in the Hogs innings” Nick Bishop
