Chesham CC Match Reports

With the season coming into the final stretch, the 1st XI remain top while the other teams can still reach their objectives.

The

1sts remain top thanks to a nervy win over Boyne Hill. Peter Ongondo

took another 4 wickets as Boyne Hill were bowled out for 146, but when

Chesham found themselves at 90-6 it looked a long way off. For the

second week running Matt Watson was the hero as his 32* saw the side

home.

The 2nd XI gave themselves a promotion lifeline as they beat

British Airways. A fine bowling performance saw British Airways skittled

for 104, with Steve Ayres leading the attack with 3 wickets and Chesham

got home by 3 wickets as Pete Clifford hit a crucial 29*.

The 3rd XI

continued their recent poor form as they drew with Hillingdon Manor.

Martin Wheeler took 4 wickets as Hillingdon were held to a chaseable

total, but too many wickets were lost at key times and the side settled

for the draw.

There was some good news for the 4th XI as they

defeated Hayes by 4 wickets. Umar Aslam took 4 wickets as Hayes were

bowled out for 114 and Chesham's reply always seemed reasonably

comfortable as they got home.

On Sunday, both sides faced Chingford

and both sides were in winning positions when the games were rained off.

Andy Goddard hit a ton for the 1sts as they reached 190 and had

Chingford 40-3 when the rain came. The 2nds were 190-1 off 31 overs when

the rain came down at Chingford, with Mark Hughes-D'aeth stranded on

96*.
