Gidea Park & Romford Cricket Club

With the holiday period clicking we had reduced availability this week. The 1sts put up a good performance but succumbed in the end at Fives where the home side won through a 6th wicket partnership having been 5 down for 80 chasing 226. The 2nds had a high scoring draw of nearly 500 runs at home to Loughton, whilst the 3rds won well against West Essex at Gallows. The 4ths played bottom of the table Basildon 3rds but chased a big total and settled for a draw 30 runs adrift, and the 5ths had a weak batting line up against Hornchurch played on a poor pitch at Met Police and came up well short.
