On a rain affected day, Manor travelled to Sutton Coldfield in a game which was reduced to 32 overs per side.

On a difficult track, Manor captain Steve Knowles won the toss and opted to put Sutton Coldfield in to bat on a difficult surface.

Manor continuously took wickets, never allowing their opponents to build a partnership, with Ricky Bassi (3-24), Steve Knowles (2-28), Shaun Carroll (1-14) and Scott Bryson (1-23) amongst the wickets for Aston Manor.
