Rain reduced this game to 35 overs a side and when they began their innings Old Colfeians probably wished that play had not been possible as they lost their first three wickets for just 8 runs
However, thanks to Tom Rameux (21), Vikas Desai (28) and, in particular, Ben Westhead (64) they recovered well, finishing on 156 for 9, Eoin Matthews taking 3 for 27 for the OWs
Old Wilsonians also lost early wickets but thanks to the ubiquitous Matthews (69 n.o) and a handy 28 from Ali Hasan Butt, they secured a comfortable victory

Catford and Cyphers 3rd Xl 159 for 7, Old Wilsonoians 3rd Xl 46 for 6

When the rain finally ended this 30 overs a side game, Old Wilsonians found themselves on 46 for 6 chasing Catford and Cyphers 159 for 7, with only Barrie Frampton (25) looking at ease with the bat and two run outs not helping their cause
Earlier the visitor's innings had revolved around James Stewart (65), ably supported by Waheeb Husani (26) and Hamza Tahir (34), with Howard Abbett taking 3 for 19 or the OWs

Catford and Cyphers 4th Xl 52, Old Wilsonians 4th Xl 53 for 9

Having bowled Catford and Cyphers out for 52, Sam Marshall 3 for 4, Paul Jenkins 3 for 25, Lawrence Wilson 2 for 14, with only the host's skipper Matthew Gray (20) showing any resistance, Old Wilsonians then found themselves 15 for 8.
However, this side have made a habit of recovering from almost impossible situations and, thanks to Sam Marshall (12) and Lawrence Wilson (16 n.o) they did so yet again, Martin O'Shea, 4 for 8, and Arshad Mahmood, 4 for 9, having inflicted the initial damage

Old Wilsonians 1st Xl 240 for 5, Bexley 2nd Xl 241 for 3

Old Wilsonian's early season form continues to be of concern but they can take comfort in the fact that, in this game, three batsmen scored 50 plus and their regular wicket-keeper forsook his pads and bowled admirably, taking 1 for 32 in ten overs, but it was not enough and they succumbed to a seven wicket defeat at the hands of Bexley 2nd Xl
Batting first the OWs lost an early wicket but then a stand of 75, between Tariq Holmes Dennis (50) and Syd Sherlock (56) put them in a strong position but neither went on to make the 'big' score required and when Bexley reduced the hosts to 162 fir 5 they were very much in the driving seat
However an unbeaten sixth wicket stand of 78 between Jon Rodda (67 n.o) and Sahan Adeesha (32 n.o) in less than nine overs gave them something to bowl at; but it was not enough
Bexley, too, lost an early wicket but after that it was plain sailing as stands of 120 - Varan Anand (95) and George Haley (53) and 80 - Anand and Mortaza Abbas (43 n.o) took them to the brink of victory which was achieved with 15 balls to spare

Gravesend 3rd Xl 268 for 7, Old Wilsonians 2nd Xl 237

A first wicket stand of 156 between V.Bhoombia (75) and Harban Singh Takhar (79) was the highlight of this game after which Gravesend will feel disappointed to finish on 268 for 7 as Old Wilsonians fought back well, Siva Ranjan, 3 for 48, and Josh Frampton, 2 for 33, being particularly impressive
However, their total proved to be enough despite a fourth wicket stand of 97 between Chris Scott (62) and Ali Hasan Butt (41) and a flurry from Siva Ranjan (45) giving the visitors hope, and they may reflect that the 14 balls of their innings that they did not use may have provided the game with a different resul

Old Wilsoninas 3rd Xl 114, Old Roan 2nd Xl 118 for 4

Having slumped to 35 for 5, Old Wilsonians were indebted to Jack Shelton (34) and Alex Forbes (17) for a sixth wicket partnership of 46, Old Roan's Kaecey Bell-Ricketts, 4 for 19, having inflicted most of the early damage
The Roan reply was a far more accomplished affair, with Ishan Kapoor (47) and Ankit Mishar (29) enjoying the summer sunshine to lead their side to a comfortable six wicket victory

Ex-Blues 2nd Xl 180, Old Wilsonians 4th Xl 181 for 9

Old Wilsonians 4th Xl once again snatched victory from the hands of defeat - see previous reports - as they secured a one wicket victory with 8 balls to spare
This time their last wicket heroes were Roger Nichols (43 n,o) and Paul Jenkins (14 n.o), a man who has seen it all before and has performed miracles on a regular basis
But spare a thought for Ex-Blues Kai Nye, who hit a magnificent 105 not out only to finish on the losing side; cricket can be such a cruel game
