Match Report Date 28/08/16 Oppo Cheshunt(a) Type 40 Overs Report by Liam Mulholland The last game of the season arrived with the usual 128 people available, a strong team was selected and boy they came good. Ryan Naylor scored a sensational 138 not out including 21 fours, the driving, cutting in particular sheer class with a touch of brutality he shared an unbeaten stand of 147 with Marvel who finished on a not too shabby 73n.o, the guys falling just 2 short of the 4th wicket club record that has stood for 20 years. The bowlers were flogged to all parts as O's amassed a gargantuan 286-3, game over surely. After teagate from last year the guys were pleasantly surprised to see something on the table this year. in reply skipper Bob Marsh went for youth and experience as old boy Mulholland operated from one end and young Ollie Marsh from the other, Marsh finishing the season with another tidy spell and the wicket of former player Gary Watkins who has blocked out and ruined many a game for the O's. Stephenson batted superbly and was cruelly denied a century being well caught on the boundary by Mistry off Zaman for a classy 98. Cheshunt batted all the way down and gave the O's a good run for their money eventually finishing on a brave 257-9. Zaman 2-18 the best of the bowlers. Another fine win to finish the season.
