Match Reports Saturday 10 July 2004 Farnham 195 all out beat Dulwich 148 all out. Dulwich lost their last six wickets for only twenty one runs in six overs to sink to a forty seven run defeat in their top of the table clash at home to Farnham. As a result newly promoted Dulwich are now second in the Surrey Championship Division One and trail Farnham by just thirteen points. Put into bat Farnham started disastrously losing both openers leg before, in the first four overs with a wicket apiece to Mark Kelly and Mark Kenlock. Nick Whitworth led a revival putting on 49 in sixteen overs for the third wicket with Gary Clapham, who made 22. Whitworth continued to thrive adding 46 for the fourth wicket with Farnham skipper, Tom Hicks who added 27 off 34 balls. Having taken 104 balls to make his fifty, Whitworth accelerated to reach his hundred in only 42 balls more. Fine spells by off spinner Tanuj Sud who took 3-17 off six overs and Mark Kenlock with 3-31 in his second spell disposed of the Farnham lower order. Whitworth was last out for 107 off 153 balls with the Farnham score on 195. Kenlock’s four wickets in the game gives him 21 wickets for the season at sixteen runs apiece. In reply Dulwich found batting difficult as the effects of the downpour of rain made the bounce uneven. Farnham’s veteran paceman Peter Dickinson bowled an exacting opening spell of 2-27 off thirteen overs. The early Dulwich batsmen soon out and the club was rescued by a fourth wicket stand between Mike George and Mark Kelly. They took Dulwich from 37 for three by adding 53 in twenty overs. Dulwich keeper George was eventually dismissed for a gritty 37 and Stuart Ferguson joined Kelly and together they took to 127 as the game seemed finely balanced. However Kelly was dismissed for 55 and then the Dulwich middle order and tail capitulated to left arm spinner Danny Kirkland who took five wickets for three runs off 15 balls including three wickets in one over. Kirkland who had dismissed George earlier finished with 6-34. The Farnham skipper Tom Hicks ended the Dulwich innings and they were all out for 148. Next Saturday second placed Dulwich visit third placed Sunbury in the First Division of the Surrey Championship sponsored by Castle Lager.
