Horndon on the Hill 1st X1 v Orsett & Thurrock on Sat 13 May 2006 at 1.30pm
Horndon on the Hill Won 7 wickets
Horndon got the season off to a perfect start with a comfortable win over weakened local rivals Orsett.
Opening bowlers Steve Mendes with 2 for 10 off 11 overs and Max Osborne 0 for 6 off 5 got the home team off to a great start.
1st change bowler Steve Salzwedel then stole the show with a bowling display of 5 wickets in 8 overs for 20 runs.
A sorry story for Orsett with no batsman achieving double figures in an all out total of 39.
Horndon achieved their target of 40 but did manage to lose 3 early wickets in the process, Paul Bennett finished on 10 not out and overseas player Sachin Khartade with 11 not out. Orsett’s overseas signing D D’cruz took 2 for 20 off 3 overs.
Horndon claim 18 points with Orsett claiming 1.
Obviously, Orsett were under strength today but it takes no gloss off a local derby win.
