After the previous week's outing against Tondu, the Beavers stepped up their game to soundly thrash Sudbrook on the weekend.

On a damp, but drying track, the toss was always going to be an important one. With the Sudbrook captain calling "Tails for Wales", Aber's own skipper John Viveash was indeed very happy to see Queen Elizabeth II staring back at him from the ground. Aber duly put Sudbrook into bat - a decision which was immediately beneficial.

After a quick team photo, the Beavers opened up from the Stream End with the ever dangerous Nathan Byrne and from the Avenue Road End with Chai Sanapala.

Both bowlers showed good control of the new ball, especially Byrne who's initial six over spell left Sudbrook's top order in tatters. Byrne claimed the wickets of the top three, who only shared four runs between them.

With the score at 15-3 off seven, the Beavers seemed in complete control of the game. As the Sudbrook numbers four and five tried to look for singles to get the scoreboard ticking over, a miscommunication between the pair left both Batsmen at the 'keeper's end'. However, In the ensuing panic, Aber failed to get the ball to the 'bowler's end' for what should have been an easy run out.

Ryan 'Midge' Jones replaced Sanapala's opening spell, and Andrew 'Buttons' Timpson came on at the other end hoping to tempt Sudbrook into playing some shots, however they showed resilience and patience against the flighted filth.

Timpson finished with exemplary figures of 10 overs, five maidens for just 17 runs, but failed to pick up a wicket.

The scoreboard was slowly ticking along at fewer than three an over, when Will Morris was bought into the attack to continue to apply the pressure. With the score at 65 for three at 24 overs in, the run rate steadily increased as the Sudbrook Batsmen, with seemingly no trouble, doubled their score.

Deja Vu struck in the 30th over as both the number four and five were stranded at the keepers' end. Doug Spencer took it upon himself to get the ball to Morris at the bowler's end, who whipped the bails off and removed the Sudbrook danger man Crook (49).

It took another 10 overs for the Beavers to make another breakthrough, this time it was Ryan Jones, in his second spell who removed Karamousis with a simple caught and bowled.

Youngster Matt knight was introduced later than normal, however struggled against Sudbrook's lower order, who proceeded to push the fielders back, and score freely.

Will Morris and Byrne were brought back on to bowl at the death, Morris claiming a wicket in the process, but proving expensive. Byrne didn't fare much better, but still finished with respectable figures of 10 overs, 3-33.

Nicolas Kinman and Alex Astley Jones opened for the Beavers. With 83 on the board, Kinman fell for 17. 'Buttons' Timpson, came in to play a pinch hitting role. This didn't last long however and he fell for three. Hoping to add some sort of impetus to the innings, Nathan Byrne came in at four again looking to score quick runs, however he also failed after he was somewhat dubiously caught behind.

Following the two experiments of lower order batsmen batting up the order, normal service was resumed when Doug Spencer joined young Astley-Jones at the crease.

Astley-Jones closed in on his maiden second team 50 and started to accelerate the scoring with good running and perfect timing. Spencer also looked to do the same, playing some glorious shots, but he couldn't penetrate the field, eventually getting frustrated he tried going over the top and mistimed the ball for a simple catch at cover.

Astley Jones fell in the same manner just six balls later, for a fine 74.

Sudbrook felt as though the balance had tipped into their favour with the dismissal of Spencer and Astley-Jones. With the score only at 121-5 and the Beavers still needing just shy of 100 with only 13 overs remaining, two new batsmen were at the crease, in the form of William 'Horrace' Morris and the skipper John Viveash.

After an early LBW appeal was turned down, Morris and Viveash (35) looked to take apart the Sudbrook bowling attack.

With the required rate at more than seven an over for the last 13, most shots appeared to come out of the middle of the bat. Good shot placement, sharp running and lusty blows from both batsmen brought the game back into Aber's favour, and with four overs remaining they were looking comfortable.

Unfortunately Morris fell with just six runs required for victory for a very well played 52.

Chai Sanapala joined Viveash at the crease who wanted to waste no time in getting the remaining runs. It only took three balls for victory. Chai's first ball was dispatched for three and the second ball he faced was bludgeoned to the boundary for four.

What looked like it could turn into a tight finish ended with more than two overs to spare, thanks to Morris and Viveash's sixth wicket partnership of 90 in just nine overs.
