ANOTHER half-century from Dave Jones couldn’t prevent Stone’s winning run from coming to a halt as Redmarley overturned the result from the previous week.

Jones top-scored once again for Stone, hitting eight fours and two sixes on his way to 79, while Darren Turl also scored 50. Other contributions came from captain Pete Lavis (29) and Peter Booth (28).

But Redmarley crossed the finish line with four balls remaining, thanks largely to Keith Trouw, who scored 111 before being run out.

Ian Gerken also made 52 to help them home, with Charley Viney Stone’s stand-out bowler, claiming 3-45 off 13 overs.

Stone seconds turned the tables on Redmarley with a dramatic three wicket victory that came with just three balls of the game remaining.

Steve Carter’s decision to field first was soon brought into question when the hosts got off to a flier.

Things were slowed a little after Carter bowled the league’s top scorer, Hemmings (21), but some wayward bowling alongside some poor fielding allowed Redmarley to build plenty of decent partnerships.

Charlie Ball bucked the trend to stifle the middle order and the return of Carter (4-51) and the introduction of spinner, Pierre Bell (3-42) helped Stone limit the total to 244-9. Things got off to a dreadful start for Stone’s batsmen with Keith Driver in the hutch after just ten balls and Henry Ball (12) following with the score on 23.

Tim Lezard (43) and Ryan Stevenson, however, put on 98 for the third wicket before the former was bowled.

Youngster Rich Boroughs (32) and Stevenson moved the score along to 210-3 when Boroughs was adjudged leg before. Tom Waldron (2) was stumped before Charlie Ball (3).

Then Stevenson went for a breathtaking 107, his maiden league ton, which included 11 fours and three huge sixes. Allen, who bowled Stevenson, saw out a wicket maiden to leave Stone needing three from the last over.

Three singles in the next three balls courtesy of Bell (2*) and Glen Moulder (1*) saw them to a memorable win.
