East Essex v Gidea Park & Romford CC Sunday 2nd X1 on Sun 12 May 2002 at 12:30
Gidea Park & Romford CC Lost
James Evans made his debut as captain in this 40 over game. On a poor wicket Park fielded first and managed to reduce East Essex to 53 for 5. But the batting of Doz who hit 102 changed the course of this game completely, this meant East Essex were eventually bowled out for 179 from 39.4 overs, Aussie Scott Wallace being the pick of the Park bowlers with 3 for 36. Punit Satsangi in his first game of the season also shined with 2 for 20 as well.
Park's batting was dissapointing on this seaming wicket, losing early wickets young Matt Hiscock held the innings together with a fine 37, but he lacked support from the rest of the batting. Park eventually losing the game by 36 runs.
