Sevenoaks Vine won the toss and elected to field. The outcome of this game was very uncertain as both teams were missing a number of players. Brown and Hollingsworth walked out to the crease. A four on the fourth ball of the first over settled any nerves. After a decent partnership of 46 Brown lost his wicket for 26 runs. Pilkington and Hollingsworth took Cowdrey’s score to 61 when Hollingsworth went out for a patient and classy 12. Pilkington saw Cowdrey’s score to 96 when he was out for 22. Shimmin and Skillen took Cowdrey’s final score to 99-6 in the allotted 22 over’s. This was a good score considering this was a bowler’s pitch.

Sevenoaks Vine’s innings started off with a flourish of boundaries, the first over going for 15. Then Ross Pilkington burst on to the scene and with a flurry of wickets ended up with brilliant figures of 4-1-12-4. The best was yet to come Samuel Denton took the game home for Cowdrey with an extraordinary fipher!
