Andover V 113 lost to Stockton 115-8

A DISAPPOINTING batting performance on Saturday caused a two-wicket defeat.

Put into bat on a drying wicket, Stockton reduced Andover to 14-4 then 42-5, Alan Ellwood (25), Jon Hewitt (40), L Winstone (9) and Russell Andrews (10) pushing the score to 113.

Francis Andrews (4-15) and Jon Hewitt (3-54) created a wobble to give the fifths hope but Woolard at number eight blasted three sixes in 33* to push his side home.
