4 wickets in a short space of time near the end gave us a chance. With 3 overs to go we had pushed the RRR up to 11.33 but in the end they managed to get the runs with a ball to spare.

Wanted to bowl anyway, should lose today but unless something dramatic happens we should avoid relegation.

We were put into bat. I've picked some youngsters, particularly my bowlers, but we should win easily anyway.

Avila scored 103 and McCall is cashing in too.

seems like our players are on holiday a week early, but who cares, nothing game we've already got the job done

McCall moves on to become top scorer today. Whitehead has his half century but is still the lowest scorer so far today.

Liberatore and Best let themselves down a bit by only reaching the teens. Whitehead still going strong.

Nice batting against the bottom side. Some of the batters missed out on boosting their averages but most got at least a half century.

Roberson was the best of the bowlers with 4-27.

The 3rd and 4th placed teams didn't lose though so we remain in 5th place.

Congratulations to Ffoh who one the league after beating their immediate rival for the trophy by just the 1 wicket

I'll be losing but let's see how badly.

A couple of 4s in the next couple of balls after this means that we've made it to 100. I don't think that's too bad. Not enough to win and the main aim will be not to hurt the NRR too much.

The first Division 1 game for Egham Town CC. Our YT20 Div 1 debut

Was a crazy game - had them 26-4 after 6 overs, but they smashed an 106-run partnership from 86 balls to set a strong target of 133 to win

Needed 54 from the last 30 balls and got the 2 required from the final ball to win, despite dropping a 4% weaker side in terms of ratings

T20 a cheat code when chasing

Considering the rating difference maybe a NRR of -1.09 isn't too bad.

House was our best player with 34 from 40 balls.
