A fantastic bowling performance from Nicholas McGuane who posted figures of 4-27, ensured that Eversley continued their winning run in the league as they bowled the visitors all out for 128 after 26.1 overs.

Finchampstead 2s travelled to Royal Ascot in division 2B as they secured a fine yet very close 10 runwin. Finches batted first and totalled 218 with Matt Eldridge (45) and Andy

Lazenbury (42) posting strong scores.

Royal Ascot attacked the score but fine seam bowling from Connor Corlett just kept them below the run rate. At the end they were dismissed for 208 so a narrow victory. Connor Corlett returned 5-38 for Finches.
