Match Reports Saturday 24 July 2004 Bank of England 194 lost to Dulwich 195 -6 wickets. Dulwich completed a successful run chase to record a four wicket victory over the Bank of England and maintain their second place in Division One of the Surrey Championship. Saturday’s victory avenged their mid season defeat by the Bank and kept up the season’s momentum. The Bank elected to bat first but the openers were unable to force the pace against Mark Kelly (who picked up the first wicket at 21) and Mark Kenlock and the 50 did not come up until the 20 th over. The visitor’s innings was dominated by opener Neil Barnes who survived a dropped catch on 15 and went on to carry his bat for 102 not out. He clearly enjoys playing against Dulwich as he made 78 in the previous match. Wickets fell regularly at the other end with the off spinners doing the damage as Tanuj Sud picked up 4 for 62 off 18 overs and Graeme Hough took 3-30 off ten overs. Both bowlers took two wickets in an over. The Bank lost their ninth wicket at 169 but Ben Lawrence helped Barnes to his hundred in a last wicket partnership of 25 before falling to Adam McDonagh. The Bank had benefited from several missed chances although Mark Kenlock had belied that trend taking three catches in the outfield. The Dulwich reply started disastrously as they lost two wickets for twelve runs in the first overs. Skipper, Richard Farrow and his New Zealander team mate Jack Lusk fought back to score 23 and 20 respectively. As Ray Tudor departed, Dulwich were precariously placed at 95-5 in the thirty fifth over. Mark Kelly continued his good run of form of recent weeks and was joined by City lawyer Stuart Ferguson who helped him add 38 for the sixth wicket. Ferguson ’s dismissal saw Dulwich on 133 for six needing 62 to win off 11.4 overs. Kelly was joined by McDonagh and together they took the Bank bowling apart as they added 42 runs off 4 overs. The pair reached the target without further loss in just eight overs with Adam McDonagh scoring 31 off 26 balls. Kelly’s magnificent innings of eighty eight not out was his second fifty in three matches and pushed Dulwich one step nearer promotion as their rivals stumbled. Dulwich’s win puts them just nine points behind Farnham and extends their lead over third placed Walton to thirty seven points. Next Saturday Dulwich visit Old Emanuel in the First Division of the Surrey Championship sponsored by Castle Lager.
