The 1s hosted Brentham CC at the Alan Digby Ground. Skipper Dylan Assani lost the toss and we were bowling. Asif Mohamadi was on fire with the new ball. He got us up and running, removing both openers to leave Brentham 21/2. Brentham then managed to string a mini partnership before Utkarsh Sahu, Kalps Kerai and birthday boy Charlie Erdwin ran through the rest of the batting line up to have Brentham 152 all out. The chase was pretty simple, even after losing Schopun early, Abbas Ilyas set it up with his 38 while Kalps hit 87* and was supported by Akshay Powale to see the boys home comfortably by 8 wickets.
