Byo lost the toss and Chipping Sodbury skipper John Toghill decided to bat first.

Their innings got off to a good start with Bennett and Scully putting on 32 for the first wicket. Scully was then involved in a partnership of 46 for the third wicket with Richardson which took the Chipping Sodbury total to 89-3 after 25.3 overs. This became 120-7 after some fine bowling from Andy Nairn and a brilliant run out from Witho but an unbroken stand of 89 from just 65 balls between Clapp and Wood took the final Chipping total up to a very competitive 209-7 from their allotted 45 overs. Andy Nairn finished with the excellent figures of 3-40, Huddy took 2-42 and Byo (1-56) was the other wicket taker.

Our run chase got off to a great start with Boardy playing in his usual aggressive style and Smalls elegantly working the ball into the gaps. They put on 95 for the first wicket before Smalls played on for 24. Tampa then joined Boardy at the wicket and they put on a further 51 runs from 63 balls before Boardy was excellently caught by Toghill at extra cover for 78 to leave the score at 146-2 after 30.4 overs. Tampa and Ian Nairn took the score up to 184-2 from 38 overs and a victory looked on the cards but after Tampa was brilliantly caught by Clapp on the boundary for 48 we collapsed dramatically and lost a further six wickets in just 32 balls for the addition of only 23 runs. This left the last wicket pair of Buckers and Jimmer needing to score three runs from nine balls for victory and with a lovely flick off his legs for four Buckers saw us home to a thrilling one wicket win.
