It was a disastrous first 10 overs. Napton lost 4 wicks for 29 runs.
Unfortunately, although Napton stepped up to the mark for the rest of the afternoon, this initial hiccup set the direction of the game.

Napton completed their allocated 40 overs on a respectable 160-7.
Stuart Alsop 58 Not Out 7 boundaries
Joe Alsop 50 runs 5 boundaries inc. 1 six

It was felt that, given the batting surface, Napton's total would be hard to defend.

After 30 overs the home team were at 132-4.
Napton were fielding and bowling well and with much effort. Gary became a ball-magnet and he covered much ground. He gathered and returned faultlessly.
With the Lemmings closing on the target, Stuart's last two overs returned a wicket-maiden and a two-wicket maiden.
The home team became a little concerned. However, Napton had set a target 20 or 30 runs short and the Lemmings overtook Napton in the 36th over.
Napton fielded well and took their catches.
Catches by Graham, Joe and two by Stuart, one caught-and-bowled.
