Blagdon came to Old Down seeking their fourth successive victory of the season and even though captain Simon Westbrook lost the toss and Blagdon were asked to bat, both for the first time this season, the result of the match always seemed like another win as the skipper himself and Ian Nairn unleashed a fine display of stroke play to move Blagdon to a very strong position of 142 for 1 with 13 overs still remaining. With the loss of Nairn for 84, Simon Byas smashed a quick 32 and only some rain interruptions and a slight batting collapse in the search for quick runs reduced Blagdon to 215 for 7.

Following the tea break, Old Down started their run chase in spirited fashion and always kept a healthy run rate, but the persistent accuracy and pace of Andy Nairn kept a firm grip on the game for Blagdon as he clean bowled the first 4 Old Down wickets. Useful backup bowling from Rob Davies, Paul Hudd and Simon Byas assisted by good fielding and catching ensured another Blagdon success by 34 runs.
