Windsor 4th XI vs. Newbury 2nd XI

Windsor 4's 156 all out
Newbury 2's 158 for 6

Newbury 2's won by 4 wickets

Windsor 4's suffered defeat in their division 6a game against Newbury 2's. Losing the toss against a side who won their final eight games of last season, and started this season with a 25 point win against Maidenhead & Bray, Windsor were put into bat on a Home Park wicket offering much assistance to the new ball bowlers. 61 from Scott Martin and a cameo 34 from John Holmes were instrumental in Windsor totalling 156 all out from 47.1 overs. In truth although the wicket was offering assistance, the total was about 30 runs short of a truly competitive total. In reply tight bowling throughout made a game of it, but league favourites Newbury were able to chase down the target in 47th over, for the loss of six wickets

Windsor 4th XI vs. Finchampstead 4th XI
Saturday 7th May 2005

Finchampstead 4 185-9
Windsor 4 189-4

Windsor won by 4 wkts

Windsor 4's got their new Division 6 campaign off to a great start with a good win away at Finchampstead. Put into a bat on a hard and slightly green wicket, Finchampstead got themselves off to a flying start with Beale in particular in fine form. With only one seam bowler available, Windsor introduced their spinners into the attack, and both Scott Martin and Mark Lynes tied the batsman up and reduced Finchampstead to a competitive 185-9. 15 year old Mark Lynes was the pick of the bowlers with 5-42, his left arm off spin causing the batsmen all kinds of problems.

In reply Finchampstead got off to a perfect start reducing Windsor to 18-3, but solid batting from Scott Martin (71*), Rory Hannigan (53) and Tim Houghton (32*) saw Windsor home to a six wicket victory and 20 points in the bag.
