The right handed pocket dynamo, more renowned for his fielding and bowling, took a liking to Phillips' bowling after Ralph Stansfield (15) ensured a brisk start, while Phil Dalton and Martin Livermore made 28 apiece in the home side's 136 for 8.

Colin "Sicky" Smith 3-10 bought his wickets cheaply before tea, while direct hits from Jason Mitchell and Hughes (pictured) brought about a late clatter of wickets

Andy Robinson, batting on his home ground, made an excellent 36 for the visitors before falling to an excellent catch by Simon Jones off leg spinner Charley Farley (4 for 14).

Colin Lord (31) kept him company until he fell to another leggie, under-13 James Palmer, but Alistair Gage (4 for 13) claimed wickets at either end of the innings as D.A.C.D. were bowled out for 118 in the penultimate over.

The teams then retired to the pavilion for a curry evening courtesy of club sponsor The Waltham Tandoori.
