Harpsden lost the toss and were put into bat on a damp, spongy wicket. Harpsden got off to great start with Stormont and Stevens timing the ball brilliantly, and on one occasion the ball was timed too sweetly as the ball nearly took off umpire Mick Greenwood's head. Their 50 partnership came up in the 10th over with both looking to go on to get half centuries. Stormont fell to the bowling of Baines for a well earned 52. This brought Harris to the crease on the back of a 74 the week before. He didn’t last long after being run out for just 3. Harris was obviously disappointed as Hayden went out to join Stevens at the crease, soon after Stevens fell for a well hit 51. Cary was next man in with Harpsden on 149-3. He didn’t last long after he chipped one straight to mid off. Hodgkiss then showed his aim as he drilled a straight four after just a few balls. He was then caught and departed for a quick 13. Almost immediately after Hodgkiss was out Hayden also fell for a hard hitting 53. After this everything fell apart a bit for Harpsden and they were bowled out for 206.
Harpsden then started off at express pace as Hayden took 2 early wickets leaving Hurst reeling on 8-2. Hurst then set about building a total before Hayden took a third. Another wicket fell almost immediately after a superb direct hit from Stormont got rid of Male for just 1. Williams was next to fall after he chipped one straight back to Farmar off his own bowling. G Smith fell after a reflex catch from Sampson off the bowling of Hancock. Hancock then removed Robert just 3 balls later after being bowled by one that hit leg stump. Then came the turn of Horatio 'Monty' Cary. He removed Thomas with his first ball as he celebrated ecstatically. It then took Harpsden a further 10 overs to finish the match off after Farmar had G Smith caught after a composed 21. This was a strong all round performance from Harpsden with Hayden, Stormont and Stevens batting superbly, and with the ball Hayden, again, Hancock and Farmar all showing brilliant control to take 7 wickets between them.

Kit in run out shocker!!
For once I had nothing to do with the Run Out on our team. Only the one that ran their guy out.
The thing is it wouldn't have taken us 10 overs to finish off the game if someone had held a catch off my bowling!
Got to take responsibility for both the run out and the dropped catch. To be fair I have already said sorry to Rob. And as for the dropped catch let’s just explain the event. A) Kit was bowling never a good sign! B) the ball was the standard Kit long hop C)it was hit at about 200mph D) Mike's mum and girlfriend had just turned up E) Mike was bowling the next over(and got the wicket in it) and finally F) I hate Kit
