Gidea Park & Romford CC Saturday 4th X1 v Brentwood on Sat 22 Jun 2002 at 1.30
Match was Drawn
Gpr lost their first toss of the year and were put into bat by brentwood. After an excellent opening stand S McCormack was the first to lose his wicket after some mighty blows for a very well earned 30. Soon after we were two down when Bob Coombe came in to liven up the run rate and Les. With Bob sending the ball crashing into the boundaries with alarming regularity the pair decided that the ball had been beaten up enough and between them Bob was run out for a might 33. Les progressed through to his fifty and was then caught behind the very next ball. With W D'Cruz 19 and O Boothby 53n/o rounding of the total Gpr had a good target to attack.
With Brentwood now batting after tea Park went at the opposition from ball one with fine opening spells from K Smith & A Locke both taking early wickets.However parks remaining attack couldn't quite see the job through with valiant attempts from R Boothby 2/24 and B Coombe 1/30 doing their best but never getting past the Brentwoods defensive guard.
