On one of the hottest days of the year Andy Grout won a rare toss and elected to bat. Captain Grout once again led a young team onto the field and despite the early wicket of chairman Nick Wake, made reasonable progress.
This was mainly due to Jim Turner who’s powerful strokeplay held the innings together. At 91-3 off 24 overs the Fourth Team were not in a bad position, but wickets began to tumble and despite Turner milking the strike and clearing the fence, we were bowled out for 128 with Turner dismissed for 60.
The Hillingdon chase was comfortable, it was hot and that took it’s toll but the Fourth Team didn’t bowl well. Hillingdon chased the total down without losing a wicket with Christopher Daley and Daniel Davies both scoring 60s.
