President's
captain Phil Baldock won the toss and his openers
Simon Jones and Gary Brent found runs difficult to
come by; the ever-green Steve Enfield being the main
protagonist with a spell of six overs, five maidens,
one run, one wicket, notably the prize scalp of Zimbabwean
international Brent.
Enfield
picked up the Waltham Champagne moment award for ensuring
he didn't bowl a second spell, thus ruining his figures!
Simon Jones compiled a patient 25 before he was dismissed
by Jon Dunlea (9-3-22-3) and Baldock played a captain's
innings with an entertaining knock of 50 before he
was skittled by van Duiker (9-4-9-2).
The
President's innings closed at 174-9 from 50 overs.
Club skipper Rob Bailey stroked his way to 49 before
he pushed at left-arm spinner Plum Bundy and was caught
at mid-on. Dave Oddie won the Man of the Match award
for his responsible innings of 67 not out; however,
he was unable to guide the home side to victory as
the President's men bowled a tight line and length.
Burridge
pair Pants Belson and Gary Brent were the pick of
the bowlers with Belson taking 4-20 and the award
for President's Champagne moment. With Waltham finishing
8 runs short, winning skipper Baldock was awarded
the Dave Williams President's Trophy.
President
Rob Helson praised umpire Mike Crouch for his stamina
standing out in the middle for 100 overs in the wilting
heat as guests, players and officials retired to the
club house for a long cooling drink.
