Still chasing their first win in this division, the 3rd XI held out for a draw. Having bowled first we bowled out the hosts for 242 with James Aylen the star bowler, claiming 5 for 33, well supported by Dave Leader (3 for 76) and some economical stuff from Martyn Swift (1 for 49 off 14 overs) and Joe Westlake (1 for 14 off 7 overs).
The batting was dominated by Leader who hit 71 on his return to the club, but bigger contributions were required from other senior players if we were to threaten the opposition's total. We finished on 207 for 8.
A win is not far away, and improvements are being seen every week.
