Finchampstead 2 amassed an imposing 284 for 4 against Wargrave with E Oliver (82) and M Keast (87) creating the strong platform and G Loveday (36*) A Lezenbury (34*) providing the flourish at the end of the innings.

Wargrave, in reply, made a strong fist of it, and at 162 for 3 after 32 overs were in a good position to complete the run chase, but the loss of Mandip Sohi (35) and Neal Robinson (0) in consecutive balls made things difficult and they finished on 270 for 9. With no limitation on bowling, two Finch bowlers, A Hussain (19-0-123-7) and S. Taylor (23-1- 111-1), almost bowled the entire innings, with Hussain’s 7 wickets nearly winning it for the home side. Michael Cowdell held Wargrave’s innings together, top scoring with a beautiful 91, and some meaty blows from Mark Firth (31) created some excitement towards the end, but it wasn’t to be and the game ended in a draw.
