Cricket: Redlynch & Hale continue their winning run

But by the fourth over, Harvey Boardman (2-17) had struck twice and although Ahmed Mahmood (30) and Chris Jolley (31) repaired some of the damage, the home bowlers were pretty much on top as Kev Hopkins (3-29) and George Hayes (3-33) continued to torment.

The hosts, feeling fairly confident about reaching the modest total, were jolted when skipper Ian Tanner was sent on LBW for just four from the second ball of the innings.

Jos Carreras and Andy Soutar couldn't stay with Dave Webber (42), and at 29-3 it looked as though it wasn't to be all plain sailing.

However, enter Pollard, who batted with assurance and style as he struck 11 fours and a maximum in a marvellous effort reaching 71 not out as he and Webber's 137 run partnership secured a fine win by seven wickets.

Good news too for the club's 2nd XI, who also won a low scoring game against Lyndhurst & Ashurst's 2nds at Boulton's Bench.

Tom Padwick's 3-36 was the best of the attack as the hosts advanced to 120-7.

In reply, in-form skipper Ewan Tanner (61*) led the charge with Jonny Drayson (52) making his maiden club half-century in a seven-wicket win and 18 overs in hand.
