Type – 40 Overs
Report by Glenn Evans.

In stark contrast to the previous weeks freezing conditions LOSCC  
were put into the field in sweltering heat by St Loughton. The  
opening batsmen started slowly but steadily with the LOSCC bowlers  
Tooth and Ravi bowling well from the first over. With 43 on the board  
Ravi claimed the first wicket with a c+b, sending Farthing back to  
the pavilion on 30. St Loughton then put on a 123 run 2nd wicket  
stand which was finally broken by Tooth in his second spell, removing  
Henmans (62) off stump from the ground. Tooth repeated this feat a  
few overs later, removing a quick scoring Sahuta J on 87. Garside and  
Chugtai finished the 40 overs with a lot of chancey singles, which  
saw Garside being runout on a suicidal 2nd run with the last ball of  
the innings. St Loughton finishing on 249-4
Mulholland and Evans confidently opened the batting for LOSCC, and  
scored quickly until Evans (44) saw his off stump upended by a great  
ball from Amos. This brought Rob Jones to the crease who, with  
Mulholland, upped the runrate even faster. With just 10 runs required  
to win Jones(63) was bowled by Patel. This brought Bob James to the  
crease, and with Mulholland needing 7 of the required 10 for his  
hundred James ably assisted him to reach his 21st century for LOSCC  
reaching 252-2 with over 5 overs of the game to spare.
