Milford 92ao, Sway II 198-10. Sway won by 106 runs

Sway won the toss and decided to bat on a fast looking Milford wicket. Clark and Stevenson got them off to a good start with a number of early boundaries but the Milford opening bowlers Ferrar and Lewis were quick but a bit wayward, however they picked up the first 3 wickets with only 53 on the board Sway were in a bit of trouble. Stevenson and Charton steadied the ship and with some lusty blows took the score to 90 before Stevenson was smartly stumped off the bowling of Sam Brown. Charton brought up his 50 with a large slice of luck when he was caught out on the boundary but the fielder unfortunately stepped back over the line and 6 runs scored. Brown 3-41 got his man shortly after with Charton finishing on 52 and then Sam Nailor 30 not out was well supported by Will Woodfine 14 and took the Sway total up to 198 just 2 runs short of the 200 for maximum points. Jack Ferrar ended up Milford’s best bowler with 4-36.

After tea, Sway’s opening bowlers Rodway and Nailor took an early wicket each with some excellent aggressive fast bowling and some smart close fielding by Ross Clark to run out Stu Brown for 9 had Milford struggling at 30 for 3. Burns 21 and Ferrar 38 then decided the best form of defence was attack with a number of big boundaries took the score to 68 before Woodfine picked up both batsmen in quick succession with the excellent Sway fielders taking catches out in the deep. Once these 2 batsmen had gone Bramwell 3-8 and Woodfine 4-26 cleaned up the tail and Milford ended on 92 all out.
