Early wickets did fall, Stuart Osbourne (9-1-53-3) clamed 2 early wickets but it was the partnership of Franks and Udal that gave Matching a respectful total of 202. Mark Dellow (10-2-28-3) helped the Thorley bowlers with a fine spell of medium pace bowling. When the batting came Thorley didn’t get of to the bast of starts losing Dave Singh and Andy Cork early on for single figures scores. But a partnership of 79 between Wes Eldred (69) and Mickey Dellow (29) gave Thorley some hope of a result. When the partnership ended more wickets bagan to fall with Aitken, Waters, A.Dellow, M.Dellow and Carter gettin scores under 5 and Thorley were eventually bowled out for 157, a good knock from Stuart Osbourne (31) at the end gave Thorley a extra batting point but it was Matching who claimed a 45 run victory over Thorley.
