Hawkesbury v Chalford
Hawkesbury batted first and scored 117 for 5 off their 20 overs (Charlie Read 39 not out, Joe Avis 48). Also notable were the first two balls of the innings which both took wickets for H Mitchell with fast yorkers.

Chalford scored 35 all out in 13 overs with 2 wickets each for Joss Beeley and Charlie Read and each member of the Hawkesbury team bowling an over. Another 5 overs were bowled to the three extra Chalford players who attended, to give them practice.

Given that Chalford were a very young team, they acquited themselves very well in the field and the game was played in a good spirit throughout.

Many thanks to David Pierce of Hawkesbury for supplying this report
