Old Wilsonians 1st XI 161 Bromley Town 153 - Old Wilsonians win by 8 runs

Pre (League) season fixtures are important and with the amount of rain falling during the week before this one, Bromley Town are to be congratulated for getting this one played.

Batting first Old Wilsonians relied heavily on Matthew Abbett (81) for more than half of their runs as Lewis Knox, 4 for 29, Luke Loveridge, 2 for 12 , Alex Taylor 2 for 22 and Henry Smith., 2 for 31 restricted their opponents to 161.

The Bromley Town reply started disastrously as they slumped to 3 for 2, but a fourth wicket stand of 64 between Henry Smith (49) and Adam Dickey (40) gave them hope but, in the end, they finished eight runs short of the visitors total.

Jon Rodda, who had earlier scored an important 27 runs, finished with 3 for 28, whilst Bromley Town's Henry Smith also showed his all-round potential with his 49 runs and two wickets.View Scorecard
