Bromley 1st XI 226 for 7, Old Wilsonians 1st XI 175 - Bromley win by 50 runs
When Old Wilsonians slumped to 31 for 6 in the 16th over they were 196 runs behind their intended target and it seemed just a matter of time before Bromley claimed the 18 points. However, Matt Golding (90 n.o) and Matt Abbett (36) then put on 46 in less than six overs and when Josh Lawrence (16) proved to be a willing accomplice, he and Golding put on a further 61 to leave the visitors needing 73 for victory with 14 overs remaining. However, three overs later, the game was all over, with Richard Selvey-Clinton finishing with 4 for 37 for the home side. Earlier the Bromley innings had had a pleasing look of consistency about it with Jack Edwards (41) , Lewis Hickford (41), Fred Wilson (63 n,o) and Nick Bluet (28) all contributing well, but we will never know what damage Golding could have done in the 11 overs the OWs had remaining had he had someone to bat with, with 52 runs needed for victory.View scorecard
OLD WILSONIANS GET HOME WITH TIME TO SPARE Simpson stars with both bat and ball

A third wicket stand of 117 between Andrew Marshall (54) and Joshua Marshall (74) rescued Broadstairs after they had lost two early wickets but, after their respective departures, the innings fell away and they finished on 197 for 9 from their 50 overs, Dan Simpson taking 4 for 28 for the OWs and Siva Ranjan 4 for 58. By contrast the OWs innings started well, with Cameron Jones (57) and Tyrell Duberry (27) putting on 93 for the first wicket and with Dan Nichols (24) and the ubiquitous Simpson (34) also scoring well, the home side got home with almost 8 overs to spare, Olly Skleton, 3 for 22, being the most successful of the visiting bowlers.View scorecard
