Harpsden batted first in this 40 over match and made a strong start through Grimmer and Stevens. The score had reached 56 before Whitchurch made their first breakthrough, Grimmer falling to a sharp slip catch of the bowling of Williams. Harpsden continued to pile on the runs with Harris and Bradley both scoring fluently and both going on to share 50 run partnerships with Stevens. Stevens went on to complete a first and very overdue century for Harpsden. The innings came to a close with Harpsden having posted a daunting 246.

It proved to be too much for Whitchurch who never really got on terms with the rate as Harpsden’s young bowlers dominated proceedings. Tom Nugent, who was on a hat-trick at one point finished with impressive figures of 8-2-9-3 and was ably supported by H.Cary and B.Hancock who both ended with 2 wickets. One other bowling performance of note came from 14 year old leg spinner J.Thomson who’s eight over went for just 27 runs.
