Windsor 4th XI vs Chiswick & Latimer 5th XI - Saturday 26th June

Chiswick & Latimer 114 all out M.Lynes 4-19

Windsor 118 for 5 S.Martin 70

Windsor 4's promotion aspirations were back on track with a comprehensive victory over second place Chiswick & Latimer. The win saw Windsor leapfrog Chiswick into second place. Acting skipper Michael Gegg lost the toss on a damp Home Park wicket and his side were put into the field. 15 year old Berkshire colt Mark Lynes was the pick of the bowlers picking up an impressive 4-19 on what his senior debut for the club. His left arm inswing troubled all of the Chiswick batsman and the pressure brought about by the other bowlers, Khanna, Lewis, Holmes and Martin and clever bowling changes by skipper Michael Gegg confined Chiswick to just 114 runs.

Windsor set off the run chase at a canter, and despite the early loss of David Holmes, Shaun Bishop and Amit Johal, aussie Scott Martin and returning university batsman Pete Griffiths went along at just under 8 an over. Martin eventually succumbed on 70, but it was great to see the aussie run machine return to form in some style. In form middle order batsman Tim Houghton and Johnathon Holmes saw Windsor home in just the 16th over!
