Rain meant that this match was reduced to 70 overs. St. Giles declared their innings closed on 174 for 6 after 36 overs. County Colt Paul Saunders scored 39 and their adult skipper Douglas Bewley retired after scoring 54. They had batted effectively in the slippery conditions. Once Karl Ward had disposed of his wicket-keeping role, he managed to take 2 wickets for 23, but him apart, none of the other bowlers looked penetrative enough – although Richard Johnson, Rupert Martin, David Hill and Keiran Ward all took 1 each.

For the home side, no one surpassed 20 although 5 players achieved double figures, Rupert Martin’s 19 being the highest. Losing wickets regularly to J Smith, M. Hoslin and Badger, Reed were well-beaten by 67 runs when they were all-out for 107 in the 30th over of a maximum 34.
