Overton Cricket Club Weekend Roundup: First XI Clinch Tight Win, Seconds and Thirds Fall Short

Overton Cricket Club’s First XI secured a gritty four-wicket victory over Hartley Wintney 2nd XI. Hartley Wintney were bowled out for 200 in 39 overs, but Overton’s chase was anchored by a superb unbeaten 84 from Andy Galvin, guiding them to 202 for 6 in 42.2 overs.

The Second XI were unable to replicate that success, falling to Oakley 2nd XI by four wickets. Overton posted 183 all out in 39 overs, with Toby Deacon top-scoring at 38. However, Oakley comfortably reached 185 for 6 in 38 overs.

Meanwhile, the Third XI also faced defeat against Oakley 3rd XI. Oakley set a target of 170 before being all out in 37.5 overs, but Overton’s reply of 139 all out in 35.1 overs wasn’t enough. David Thompson’s 45 and Ollie Rose’s 35 were notable efforts in a 31-run loss.
