The Village scored a huge 297, getting dismissed in the final over. A superb maiden century for stand-in Skipper Andrew Potter (106) was the highlight. Extras contributed a significant 49 runs to the total. Felix Charles (44) and Majid Asif (31) also made useful contributions.
Despite the imposing total, the home side won with 15 balls to spare and 5 wickets in hand as the Village failed to exert any control in the field. Dropped catches and poor bowling lines cost the Village dearly.
Another tough defeat to take this year, leaving the Village still needing to pick up a few points from the last two games to guarantee safety from relegation.
