Wanstead v Gidea Park & Romford CC Saturday 2nd X1 on Sat 09 Aug 2003 at 1.30pm
Gidea Park & Romford CC Won 3 Runs
Park won the toss & batted on a very flat pitch with a very fast outfield. Collier & Evans got Park off to a good start, Evans being 1st out. Park struggled there after. Batsman came & went fairly regularly, getting themselves in & then getting themselves out again. Park managed to bat out there 52 overs and ended up with 230 which looked 40 runs short of a good target.
Park bowled with much more determination than they batted with. All of the bowlers bowled well & the fileding backed them up. A tight finish meant that with 1 wicket in hand Wanstead needed 9 from the final over. On the 5th ball the Wanstead no11 Farrell wandered out of his crease & a smart stumping from Dave Goldsmith gave Park a much needed victory.
