Ham. Parish 46-6 A week before opening the defence of their Western Counties title, Somerset Bridge were bundled out for just 45 by Hamilton Parish in this First Division Overs match at White Hill Field on Sunday.

Irving Burgess, whose previous claim to fame certainly hasn't been in the bowling department, was devastating with the new ball as he snatched six for 22 from eight overs. Perry Simmons then completed Bridge's misery by taking three for five from just 11 deliveries.

In all Somerset Bridge batted for just 15.5 overs with E.Johnston their top bat with 14 -- after the first four batsmen all failed to score -- while captain Corvett Lambert contributed 10 not out in the tailend.

Parish didn't have everything their own way as they went in search of a modest target, losing six wickets in the space of 12 runs after Dennis Trott (six) and Mike Burgess (18) had put on 28 for the first wicket.

A.Wilson claimed four for 15 for Bridge and M.Bean two for six.

PHC 173 Warwick 175-7 Warwick, who will be Somerset Bridge's opponents on Saturday in the Western Counties, scored an impressive three wicket win over another Western Counties side, PHC, at Southampton Oval.

The only disappointment in Warwick's win was Jeffrey James' failure to score a century, as he was bowled on 98 by Cal Waldron with three runs still needed for victory. James hit 14 fours and two sixes in his innings before being sixth out on 171. Waldron, Shoron Hunt and Neil Anglin all took two wickets.

Allan Wilkinson was Warwick's top bowler with three for 21 from 10 overs while Daniel Morgan claimed two for eight as PHC reached 173 in 47.5 overs.

Earlier middle-order batsmen Cal Waldron and Kevin Dill led PHC's recovery from 76-4 with a stand of 65 for the fifth wicket. Captain Waldron was high man with 44 while Dill scored 38. Gerald Simons hit 24 at number three as he led the first recovery from 16-2 to 57-3.

Flatts 203 St. David's 208-4 St. David's, leaders of the First Division Overs, made it five wins out of six with this six-wicket triumph over third-placed Flatts at St. David's.

Flatts might have been confident of defending their total of 203, built on opener Millard Bean's 60 and 30 not out from Brandon Woolridge in the middle order. St.David's were then frustrated by a last wicket stand of 31 between Woolridge and Gerald Sims (15) as Flatts posted the 200.

Reginald Pitcher led St. David's bowling with three for 31 while George Cannonier, Del Hollis and Kameron Fox all claimed two wickets apiece.

An opening stand of 96 between Dean Pitcher (32) and captain Shea Pitcher (55) put St. David's well on their way and useful contributions after that from Philip Pitcher (29), Rudell Pitcher (17), Allen Richardson (18 not out) and Del Hollis (42 not out) completed the job.

IYT 123 Somerset 125-5 Somerset beat the International Youth Team by five wickets at Sea Breeze Oval on Saturday after dismissing the youngsters for 123 with S.Wade taking three for nine and Steven Mendes and Gladwin Ingham both two for 25.

High man for the youth team was Ian Armstrong with 38 while captain Travis Smith scored 18.

Somerset reached ther target in 26 overs with Ingham and Craig Brangman scoring 21 each and Sidney Simmons and Shawn Roberts 20 apiece. Coolridge Durham claimed two for 32 and Jaja Millett two for 26.

St. David's 211-3 Social Club 117 St. David's scored an easy 94-run win over Social Club at Lord's on Saturday as Philip Pitcher and Allen Richardson both hit half centuries.

Pitcher cracked 58 as he and O.J. Pitcher (26) put on 87 for the first wicket.

Richardson then followed up with 53 before retiring hurt while another veteran, George Cannonier, also contributed to the total, scoring 29 not out.

Shawn Spencer took two for 39 to lead the Social Club bowlers.

After being promisingly placed in the batting at 63-2, 10-men Social Club eventually lost their way with the last four wickets going down for just six runs. Jaymo Durham was their high man with 34 while opener Spencer contributed 24 and Kevin Bean 22.

Del Hollis claimed four for 27 and Oliver Pitcher two for five as young wicketkeeper Landro Minors enjoyed three stumpings off spinners Hollis and Pitcher.
