Old Wilsonians inflicted a 102 run defeat on promotion seeking Upchurch thanks mainly to a business like stand of 77 between Matt Abbett (73) and Velsen Devarajulu (30) and an a pulsating one of 96 between Michael Mitchell (53 n.o) and Jordan Thomas (34) which left the Upchurch ragged in the searing heat. Upchurch started slowly and lost wickets at the same time. to the extent that they were 50 for 4 after 25 overs and although Alan Pattenden (44) and Yusof Brown (44) shared in a sixth wicket stand of 78 there were less than 10 overs left when they were parted with 120 still needed for victory. The ubiquitous Thomas finished with 5 for 15 whilst, for Upchurch, former OW bowler Rohan Sharma bowled tidily to conceded just 25 runs from his ten overs.View Scorecard

Bromley Common’s reply started encouragingly enough, with Matthew Warne (49), Sam Walker (25) and Oscar Hussey (21) seemingly putting them on track for victory, but some fine bowling by Joe Jukes, 4 for 21, turned the game in the OW’s favour and they recorded a 26 run victory.View Scorecard
