Old Wilsonians 1st XI 131 All Out Versus Chestfield 135 for 5 - Chestfield win by 5 Wickets!

Old Wilsonians winning streak of six consecutive victories finally came to an end as Chestfield inflicted a five wicket defeat upon them.  Having bowled the OWs out for just 131, Dylan Hunter taking 4 for 28, the latter then dominated his own side’s innings to finish 66 not out at the end of the game. Unlike last week, when they successfully defended a total of 124 against St Lawrence & Highland Court, this game proved a bridge too far for the OWs as their failure to post a competitive total proved to be their undoing this time, with only Sanath Dandeniya (25) and Matt Abbett (25) proving stubborn opponents for the Chestfield bowlers. Jordan Thomas, who finished with 3 for 34, gave the home side a lift when he took a wicket with the first ball of the Chestfield inning,  and with the latter’s score at 67 for 4 the game was evenly balanced, but Hunter then found willing accomplices in Taylor Chandler (19) and Tim Collins (15 n.o) to see his side safely home with overs and wickets to spare.View Scorecard 

Bickley Park 2nd XI 159 All Out versus Old Wilsonians 2nd XI 108 for 8 - Match Drawn! 

Having dismissed Bickley Park for 159, Old Wilsonians’  2nd  Xl  collapsed dramatically, at one point they were 42 for 6, and must have been grateful for an unbeaten 55 from Kenny Maxwell and the fact that rain interruptions earlier in the afternoon rendered this game incomplete. Marcos Aimey inflicted most of the damage, dismissing four of the OW top six and finishing with 4 for 30, whilst Krish Maru was the epitome of economy,  taking 2 for 18 from 15 overs. Earlier Bickley Park had started badly themelves, losing their first three wickets for 15, but Andrew Harriott (51)  initiated a recovery  before Julian Ramsey (34)   and  the ever purposeful Aimey shared in ninth wicket stand of 50 to push the total beyond 150, with OW’s Doug Forbes finishing with 5  for  41.View Scorecard

Hayes 4th XI 137 All Out versus Old Wilsonians 3rd XI 211 All Out- Old Wilsonians win by 74 Runs!

A somewhat disjointed score-card, number seven batsman Jason James top scored with 62, enabled Old Wilsonians’ 3rd Xl to pass 200 against local rivals Hayes 4th Xl. Rob McEwen (34)  and  Howard Abbett (53) also scored well, with opening bowler Leo Webster finishing with 5 for 46 for Hayes. In reply the hosts lost early wickets and despite a fighting 42 from  Jeremy Browne,  and some stubborn resistance by Joe  Lambourne (18)  and Lewis Thisleton  (18), they fell well short of their total  with Howard Abbett, 3 for 21 and Andrew Steel, 2 for 25, sharing the bowling honours but the champagne moment of this game was Steve Murnane's Hat-trick to dismiss the final 3 batsman and secure 20 points for the OWs! View Scorecard 

Old Wilsonians 4th XI 148 for 8 versus Roan & Lambethians 2nd XI 236 for 5  - Roan win by 88 Runs!

A first wicket partnership of 142 between  Ashfaq Bashir  (115)  and Nazmul Hasan (51) laid  the foundations for Roan & Lambethans to hit a large total against Old Wilsonians’ 4th Xl and although the latter recovered to a degree, Shehan Sivaranjan finishing with 3 for  49, they still faced an imposing total of 236. However, they responded well with openers Jake Phillips (40) and Seth Clifford (26) both looking in fine fettle, but when Martyn Prendegast dismissed them both he then went about taking out the majority of the top order to finish with 5 for 19  and the visitors to recorded a comfortable 88 runs victory.

Old Wilsonians 5th XI 216 for 9 Verus OD CUACO 5th Xi 127 for 9 - Old Wilsonians 5th XI win by 89 Runs!
A first wicket stand if 67 between Andy Steel (21) and Aaron Steel (71) got Old Wilsonians’ 5th Xl off to a good start, substantiated by one of 72 between Aaron Steel and Sean Beckett (51),  with ODCUACO’s Emily Ainger finishing with fine figures of 6 for 34. The visitor’s reply fell well short of the required total with only Stephen Smith (24) making any real impression as they slumped to  a 89 run defeat.View Scorecard
Presidents Day! Presidents XI 217 All Out versus "The Club" 220 for 6 - Club Win by 4 Wickets!
A blistering opening partnership of 106 between Sean Beckett (71) and George Brindley (44) saw the Club side nearly half way to their required total after just 13 overs,  and although  Paul Jenkins’ President’s Xl fought back well, the initial damage had been done and they succumbed to a four wicket defeat. Earlier Velson Devarajulu (83) had batted well for the President’s men with Michael Mitchell (31) and Jacob Gold (30 n.o) making a late rally to push the total beyond  200, but it did not prove enough, thanks mainly to the blistering start made by the Club Xl.
