THERE was a quite remarkable happening in the Uckfield Anderida v Eastbourne Martlets match on Sunday.

P Nicholson of Eastbourne in his first game for the club took 6-42 including a hat-trick in which he took the wicket of Ryan Banham with his final delivery to complete the rout.

Enter 12-year-old Ryan. Taking a few overs to find his length, he then proceeded to dismantle the Martlets middle order with an amazing spell of 7-41.

Nearing the end of his spell the UACC youngster found himself on a hat-trick with Nicholson '“ the bowler who ended his innings as a batsman earlier '“ on strike.

A clever flighted delivery resulted in Nicholson being stumped which ensured Banham had returned the favour of dismissing his opponent on the hat-trick ball.

Anderida won the match by 77 runs.
