Gore Court 1st XI 158 for 9 Versus Old Wilsonians 1st XI 132 All Out - Gore Court won by 26 Runs!
Gore Court did their survival hopes a power of good, and dented Old Wilsonians’ promotion hopes at the same time, with this 26 run victory at the Grove.
Batting first they were indebted to a gritty 54 from opener Joe Eves with Connor Annand (23) also making a useful contribution before the tail wagged to effect, as Rob Slater (15) and Sohail Asilzada (15 n.o) pushed the score close to 160. In reply Old Wilsonians seemed to be putting themselves into a winning position at 84 for 2 after 22 overs, Jonathan Rodda (33) and Pasan Weeraratne (15), but when the ubiquitous Sohail Asilzarda took two wickets in an over the game turned on its head and the visitors lost eight wickets for 48 runs in 18 overs. Asilzarda finished with 4 for 18 , whilst Faisal Zaman took three wickets in four balls to finish with 3 for 26.View Scorecard
Old Wilsonians 2nd XI 221 for 7 Declared Versus Gore Court 2nd XI 77 All Out - Old Wilsonians 2nd XI won by 154 Runs!
Old Wilsonians’ 2nd Xl achieved a comfortable 154 run victory against Gore Court to keep their promotion hopes very much alive. Batting first they scored quickly, Cameron Jones (73) and Sean Beckett (56) being particularly fluent, and were confident enough to declare after 48 overs, thereby giving their bowlers extra time to dismiss their opponents. However, they did not need them as the visitors lost wickets early and on a regular basis to be dismissed for 77 in just 32,2 overs, with Tom Sullivan finishing with 5 for 20 and David Pilgrim 2 for 17 View Scorecard
Dartfordians 2nd XI 118 for 6 Versus Old Wilsonians 3rd XI 120 for 5 - Old Wilsonians 3rd XI won by 5 Wickets!
Having restricted Dartfordians to 118 for 6 from their 40 overs, despite a splendid 61 not out from Terry Phillips and a competent 22 from Billy Harris, Old Wilsonians then set about scoring the runs they required for victory. Their hosts were encouraged by two early wickets but the OWs then steadied the ship as Josh Holland (45), Danny Phillips (20) and Howard Abbett (19 n.o) saw them safely home to a five wicket victory.View Scorecard
Old Wilsonians 5th XI 131 All Out Versus Catford & Cyphers 4th XI 126 All Out - Old Wilsonians 5th XI won by 5 Runs!
In the tightest of finishes Old Wilsonians’ 5th Xl achieved a narrow 5 run victory over Catford and Cyphers’ 4th Xl in this friendly game. Batting first the OWs struggled for runs with only Aaron Steel (30) making a substantial contribution as Cyphers used 8 bowlers to restrict their progress, Arshad Mahmood, 2 for 21, being the most successful. However, when it came to their time to bat the visitors also struggled, and had it not been for Harry Persaud (31) and Wilfred Brooke (54) they would have been dismissed for next to nothing, as Stephen Millward, 5 for 22, and Aaron Steel, 3 for 30, found the majority of their batting to their liking.View Scorecard
