The match was a significant one for one of the club’s younger players with Jash Patidar marking his first start in the senior XI by being given the new ball. He promptly claimed a huge scalp – removing Somerset and England Under-19 player Ben Green for four. All that came in the post-tea session for Sidmouth skipper Nick Gingell had lost the toss and been asked to bat first by his opposite number. The Sidmouth…
