🚨Match Results🚨
The 1s got off to a fantastic start, with Aaron taking a brilliant 4‑fer and Ollie backing him up to leave the oppo 55 for 5. Their No.6 dug in and tried to rebuild, but the attack stayed on top and bowled them out for 184.
Runs were hard to come by in reply. Early wickets for openers Aaron and Humpo added pressure, and although Duggers worked hard for his 30 and Wozza chipped in with a vital 29, it wasn’t enough. The 1s fell short by 49 runs.

After losing the toss, the 2s were asked to bowl in conditions that didn’t suit them, but they didn’t let that show. Tight lines and sharp fielding brought regular wickets, eight of them caught, with JT and Afnan taking two each but Nando was the standout, picking up his first Waltham 5‑for. The 2s kept the oppo to 220.
Joe then took charge of the chase, batting through for an unbeaten 88* that included 8 fours and 3 sixes. Harrison E added a solid 30, Nindi made 29, and Nando finished 21* as he and Joe saw it home. A much‑needed six‑wicket win for the 2s in their push to stay in Div 3.

The 3s faced top‑of‑the‑table Galleywood and were put in to bat after losing the toss. Andy and Atul both fell early, leaving the 3s 35/2, but Russ steadied things and built an innings while wickets fell around him. He was eventually bowled for 71, closing the innings on 178.
With the ball, Wags and John set the tone, making the openers work for everything. Frank and Steve kept things tight and picked up wickets before the batters could settle. With 45 needed and six overs left, Fin and Hari were handed the ball. It got tense, but both held their nerve and took the final two wickets with overs to spare, sealing an 18‑run win.
