Scorecard

Potters Bar v Sawbridgeworth Cricket Club 1st XI on Sat 25 Apr 2009 at 1:30
Sawbridgeworth Cricket Club Won 59 runs

Match report Sawbridgeworth recorded their first win at Potters Bar since 1997 with a comfortable 59-run victory.

After Jones was unluckily run out backing up at the bowler's end in the third over of the day, Wilson and Sanders provided the main foundation of the visitors' innings with a century second wicket partnership.

Wilson showed a welcome return to form, hitting seven fours and a six in 98 balls before he played on to McGee while Sanders faced 96 deliveries (six fours and a six).

Ashman and Birch provided the later momentum as they both scored at more than a run a ball, adding 43 for the fifth wicket in under six overs. Ashman's 32 ball knock was easily his best score against the Bar while Birch took full advantage of an early dropped catch to ensure Sawbo reached a competitive total.

In reply, Potters Bar got off to an flier with Swainland and Breeze putting on 70 for the first wicket in 12 overs before the latter played on to James.

Jared Norman was bowled by O'Donovan for a fourth ball duck before James trapped Swainland in front before removing Cooper three balls later courtesy of a slip catch by Birch.

Khalid struck James for successive fours before the bowler gained his revenge with a beautiful delivery that cleaned up the former Worcestershire player and reduced the Bar to 98-5.

James finished with figures of 4-36 before Birch picked up three wickets in five overs. Van Der Maat struck a few lusty blows (21 off 20 balls) but was last man out off the first ball of the 36th over.
