Ravenscroft lights up opening night of Premier Division
HE WAS the first wicket of a Will Peatfield hat-trick, but by then Tim Ravenscroft had already proved to be the difference between the sides as the 2014 Krys Global Evening League Premier season got under way last night.
The former Hampshire professional struck 79 from just 45 balls, hitting six sixes and five fours in his stay at the crease to help Cobo rack up 126-7 from their 16 overs with captain Jamie Nussbaumer (14) and Ben Ferbrache (18) the other batsmen to reach double figures.
Island all-rounder Peatfield eventually removed Ravenscroft before Jack Byrne and Chris Markham followed in successive deliveries to complete his hat-trick.
Griffins fell 20 short in their run chase, although Jason Martin played impressively at the top of the order, making 54 from 47 deliveries.
