After both teams had enjoyed an England victory in the World Cup, the toss was won by Blagdon on a damp pitch at the Bartons and Patchway were asked to bat first.

Following two early wickets from the swing bowling of James Butcher, Patchway grafted their way back into a reasonable position, but tidy bowling from the Blagdon attack kept them pegged back to 88 for 5 when the rain intervened and 6 overs were lost. Patchway returned with just 8 overs to bat and performed well to post a challenging score of 139 for 8.

Blagdon started positively with Jeremy Board showing a welcome return to form with a brisk 45. Simon Westbrook and Mark Sage kept the momentum going to ensure another comfortable and fifth successive victory for League leaders Blagdon.
