The 1's fell to a 4-wicket defeat against Loughton, but showed plenty of fight along the way, particularly a 10th wicket partnership of 59 between George Pavitt (28) and Tom Redman (15*) gave them something to bowl at after being 113/9. Manoj top scored with 29, and Cal Greene made an explosive 25 (including 3 consecutive 6's), but no one was able to make a decisive contribution.

Epping won by 68 runs
The 2's came unstuck on a spinning track at Epping, but there were still some notable performances which will give them hope for the season ahead. After winning the toss and asking the hosts to bat, Zak Wilson struck with the first ball of the game to have opener Hoque caught by Alex Karkoski, but the glory was short lived as the pace on the ball suited the other top order batters nicely. Karkoski (2-32) then made a couple of breakthroughs, but Louie Collins (4-36) and Yuvi Verma (2-45) took regular wickets to restrict the hosts to 235 to give the visitors hope.
Sadly, a wearing and spinning track made the chase difficult, and only Verma (36) and Wilson (21) out of the top order was able to make any sort of contribution as the 2's quickly slipped to 85/9, before a last wicket partnership between Collins (45) and Harry Fogg gave the scorecard some respectability.
