DORSET’S two under-13 debutants got the county off to a flying start when East Dorset’s Ian Westhead (3-15) and former Somerset seamer Conrad Fish (3-8) took Oxfordshire’s first six wickets in a comfortable seven-wicket win at Clayesmore School, Blandford.
Experienced left-arm spinner Frank Turrell mopped up the tail with 4-9 as the visitors were skittled for 77 in just 28 of their allotted 40 overs.
An opening stand of 57 between Greg Willows (33no) and skipper Josh York (22) largely settled the issue. Dorset reached their target in 26.2 overs at 78-3.
Dorset U13s: Josh York (captain), Harrison Clarke, Bradley Currie, Conrad Fish, Hugo Middle, Owen Morris, Ollie Shrubsole, Ollie Thomas (wicketkeeper), Ross Tooley, Frank Turrell, Ian Westhead, Greg Willows.
