Match Reports Saturday 29 May 2004 Result: Dulwich Win Cheam 168- 8 (60 overs) drew with Dulwich 162-9 wickets Dulwich extended their lead at the top of the Surrey Championship Division One with a winning draw over recently relegated Cheam. Put into bat, Cheam found scoring difficult on a slow pitch and quickly lost an early wicket to Mark Kenlock. Tanuj Sud and Adam Mcdonogh picked up further wickets as the Cheam score crept along to 117 for three wickets after 44 overs. Off spinner Sud at this point had taken one for twenty two off fourteen overs. Any thoughts of acceleration were thwarted by Graeme Hough who started with four maidens. A fortuitous run out saw the dismissal of Zimbabwean John Vaughan-Davies for 36 at 142 after fifty four overs. Cheam collapsed with four wickets falling in three overs with Kenlock and Hough taking two each. Hough finished with 2-17 and Kenlock with 3-31. Cheam totalled 168 after sixty overs with two wickets still remaining. In reply, Dulwich got off to a flying start as Richard Farrow and Phil Chandler put on 47 in only six overs against some wayward bowling and some wayward fielding. Chandler was dismissed for 19 off 21 balls and Farrow soon followed for 34 runs off 31 balls. Batting became harder as Cheam intensified their efforts and the bounce became less predictable. A hard fought stand of 42 between Ray Tudor and Mark Kelly took the score from 76-4 to 118 with Tudor making 35 off 48 balls. As Dulwich edged forwartd, the Cheam bowlers took wickets regularly to reduce Dulwich to 144 for 9 with five overs to go. Adam McDonagh and Mark Kenlock survived the remaining overs to secure the winning draw leaving Dulwich frustratingly six runs short. A winning draw means that Dulwich continue to lead the league and next week travel to newly promoted Camberley in Division One of the Surrey Championship sponsored by Castle Lager. The draw by the first team concluded a most satisfying weekend as the other four Saturday sides each won their fixtures and on Sunday all four Dulwich colts sides recorded four wins!
