Match Reports Saturday 12 June 2004 Result: Dulwich Win Sutton 147 all out (55.4 overs) lost by seven wickets to Dulwich 148-3 (37.3 overs) Surrey Championship Division One leaders Dulwich had a convincing win seven-wicket over third-placed Sutton to confirm their position at the top of the table and open up a gap of 25 points over Walton-on-Thames, now in third. Sutton were put in to bat, and the former Surrey star Keith Medlycott was first to fall, to Dulwich’s own ex-Surrey player, Mark Kenlock. A typically tight spell from Kenlock, including a superb catch off his own bowling, saw him concede just 19 runs from 11 overs. With the score at 54-2 off 20 overs, the pressure was on Sutton to accelerate, but Graeme Hough was in fine form, picking up two wickets in two balls to leave Sutton on 81-5 after 31 overs. He was given excellent support by Tanuj Sud as they squeezed the life out of their opponents. Hough finished with five for 60 in 20 overs – a superb performance from the experienced campaigner. Mark Kelly was brought back to clean up the tail, picking up two wickets in an over, to leave Dulwich needing just 148 to win. Richard Farrow and Phil Chandler made sure there were no alarms. They reached 50 in the 14 th over, and went on to make a century opening partnership by the 27 th over. Soon after, with Farrow having already made his fifty, Chandler drove one straight back at Medlycott, who deflected it on to the stumps, leaving Farrow stranded at the non-striker’s end, out for 57. Chandler went on to make his half-century, eventually falling for 54 with the score on 137. Jack Lusk made a brisk 24 not out at the end to see Dulwich home by seven wickets. Next Saturday, Dulwich entertain seventh-placed Old Emanuel at Burbage Road in Division One of the Surrey Championship, sponsored by Castle Lager. Both of Dulwich’s other Surrey Championship sides recorded winning draws to keep them in the top half of their leagues, but the performance of the day was undoubtedly Tony Cable’s 170 in 127 balls for the 3 rd XI against the champions and league leaders, Wimbledon.
