TODAY IS:

Forest Row, in partnership with Douch, entertained Edenbridge – in their latest Div 1 clash. Bridge won the toss and inserted Row – after a shower had greeted the teams arrival. Wycherley and Way opened, with Wycherley quicker-ly out of the traps for 28. When Way (19) missed a full toss and N Divall was bowled by a ‘Fuller’ length, Jackson was joined by debutant – Dominic Osbourne. They built a stand of 68 against Fuller and Cox, whom bowled the core of the bowling. Jackson, relishing his promotion, took an increasing liking to the bowling – dominating the 6th wicket stand of 38. Backed up by Paul Rowe (8*), He guided Row to maximum batting points – with a superb unbeaten 75.

Row got off the perfect start when N Divall had Woodman (0) snaffled by Jackson, at slip. G Cox should have gone soon after though was dropped by Wycherley. The miss proved to be costly as G Cox’s slice of fortune became a cake – with the ball slicing off every edge imaginable, as he rode his luck on a kicking horse. M Divall trapped T Cox (38) LBW, though bridge were still well on course for victory. Mike Keeler and Martin Britt’s entrance into the attack, allowed Row to wrestle some control to the run flow – witnessing G. Cox run out for a fortuitous 59. Britt picked up the Slack (6) and Keeler castled Corder (6). N Divall returned to have Mills (6) caught Way and a change of ended, spelt the end for Williams (25) & Ward (4). Row ran out of overs to secure a tightly contested match.
