Chingford Cricket Club

On Saturday 26 May in the Shepherd Neame Essex League the 1st and 2nd XIs drew and the 3rd and 4th XIs won. The 1st XI scored 280-9 largely thanks to Rob Whitfield (104) and Paul Shawyer (77) and had Saffron Walden 89-3 when the rain intervened. The 2nd XI scored 285 for 8 with Greg Hales scoring 102 supported by Steve Piper (58) and Truptesh Patel (44). In reply Saffron Walden scored 272 for 8 with Steve Piper taking 4-49. The 3rd XI succesfully chased down Westcliff's score of 267 for the loss of only 5 wickets. Andrew Chipchase scored 64* and took 6-56, Roy Williams scored 54 and Paul Adshead 67. The 4th XI bowled out Upminster 5th XI for 104 (Mike Blake 3-21 and Kevin Love 4-21) and won by 1 wicket in a tense finish. Overall another good day for the Club.
