Posted by Ken Hobbs on 3 August 2015
Brentwood 1st XI went top of the Shepherd Neame Premier Division following a comprehensive 7-wicket win at South Woodford on Saturday. Chelmsford’s four-run defeat by Ilford meant Brentwood go top by one point with five games left in the season. We still have both Chelmsford and third-placed Wanstead to play at home in the remaining fixtures.
South Woodford were dismissed for 132 on Saturday with Harry Shirt top-scoring with 41 not out. The wickets were shared by six bowlers, Tom Moore (2-25), Jake Wickham (2-28), Peter Youngusband (2-23), Charlie Griffiths (2-21), Ian Belchamber (1-23), Paul Humphries (1-9). Brentwood reached their target in 26.2 overs, Tom Oakley the mainstay with 75. For the full scorecard on Play-Cricket go to the following link:
