choosing to bat first their total was never going to be enough following some strong bowling and fielding. There was only Cameo performances for key team stalwart Ed Smith and Lewis Walcott, with Ed taking key catch and Lewis removing their Essex bat early with bails flying. however after that it was left to young Joe Smith, Dev Parmar, Jameel Mulla and Keeper Nick Norman to keep the runs down and share the wickets.

In response Jameel and Joe made light work of Woodford Greens batting and never looked in any trouble. However we always find ways to get out and the only wicket was Joe getting run out when set. However it was a fine bit of fielding for the substitution fielder. I am sure Joe trying to sneak a quick single to Lewis who was standing in for their injured fielder!

The division is in our hands with one game to go. With the prize of a place in the end of season div 1 cup up for grabs and to pit our skills against the district/counties finest. This group certainly deserve it but up to them now!
