Over 40s v Four Oaks
Tight opening bowling from Martin Rose and David Woakes restricted Four Oaks’ run-rate in the early overs. Change bowlers Ian Hudson, Nick Farrell and Austen Imber, together with sharp fielding and Chris Wooding’s excellent wicket keeping, kept boundaries to a minimum in the visitor’s 98-4 from 18 overs.
The Manor’s reply got off to a strong start until Imber fell for 23 and Hudson 18. Rob Bartlett’s 14 set up a close final two overs. David Woakes’ boundary in the penultimate over left needed six from the final over. Nick Farrell’s straight four in his 14 not out secured victory with two balls remaining.
