Gidea Park & Romford CC Won Won by 44 runs
Scott Davis lead from the front as yet agin Park had to bat first. Davis scored a fine 118 consisting of 16 4s. Park scored at 4 an over till lunch putting themselves in a reasonable position to push on after.Hussain and Davis had taken the score to 132 at lunch. Husain was out soon after lunch and Collard and Davis looked to up the rate and push towards 250 adding 75 in the next 10 overs. Davis was eventually caught with the score on 238. Collard then added the necessary 19 runs in the next over allowing Park to declare on 258 finishing on 39 before being caught in the deep.
With a slow wicket the key was to be patient and a decent line and length.With 63 overs to play with the result was evenlly balanced. After an initial run spree Collard turned to Mel Hussain and himself to try and apply the pressure and spread the field alittle to tighten things up.Patient was rewarded with the pressure being applied the wickets began to fall. With all the bowlers contributing to the effort.Reyer a tirig spell in the heat collected 2 Hussain 2 Collard 3 and Sweeney 2.Sweeney rewarde for a fine spell by claiming the last wicket caught at slip by Collard with 5 overs to spare.
