Aidan Swain made the most of the conditions on Sunday and compiled a useful 75 including 11 fours. The returning Paul Garrott had earlier made 15 before Sam Deville notched-up another half-century. Tom Trimble, Matt Naeem, Ben Walker and Peter Bradford added to the runs as Reed totalled 197 for 5 from their 40 overs when the innings closed.
Matt Giblin struck with his first delivery of the visitors’ reply, but Creed and Frame then steadied things for a while. Giblin took a second wicket then Ben Walker snared 2 for 21 from 6 overs to leave Compton with some work to do and the game in the balance. Unfortunately, there were too many loose deliveries from Reed’s other bowlers that Frame, (88), and Dryfill, (63 not out), dispatched to the boundary. Giblin resumed with the wicket of Frame and finished with figures of 3 for 22 from 8 accurate overs, but Southgate Compton managed to overhaul the target with 5 wickets in-hand. Southgate Compton won by 5 wickets
