THORPE ARNOLD v EGERTON PARK
Thorpe won by 4 wkts

Batting first, Park made 101-3 with Tom Marshall and captain Harry Jinks both retiring on 25, the latter hitting four boundaries.

Thorpe's bowling was tight with Alex Christie bowling a wicket maiden as Park reached 35 off 10 overs, but Park upped the tempo in the last five overs, Leo Stannard and Joe Anderson ending the innings on a high smashing nine off the last over.

Thorpe's progress was steady and they were reduced to 14-2 until a quickfire 27 from Christie – with five fours – and Joe Kendall's mature 25 (retired) put Thorpe on track.

Once they had retired, Cropper and Mistry were caught, while Mamos and Koski went without scoring, but Jamie Graham's four clinched victory with an over to spare.

Special mention to the opening bowlers of both sides – Jinks, Anderson, Christie and M. Hickman – who each bowled spells of fantastic fast bowling.
