Match Reports Saturday 31 July 2004 Old Emanuel 119 all out and Dulwich 120 for 2 wickets Dulwich comprehensively outplayed Old Emanuel to secure their ninth win of the season and seized the leadership of the First Division of the Surrey Championship with just four games to go. The Dulwich victory was based upon an excellent bowling display backed by fine out cricket. Inevitably Farrow and Lusk wrapped up the game for Dulwich just after five o’clock as Dulwich look odds on to confirm their third consecutive promotion. Winning the toss skipper Richard Farrow inserted Old Emanuel and his faith in his bowlers was justified as the opening bowlers Mark Kenlock and Stuart Ferguson tied down the batsmen. Kenlock was soon into his stride bowling Carmichael with the score on 4 and one run later Ferguson trapped Jarratt. Old Emanuel were in trouble with Hardwick and Mayer struggling for every run before Mark Kelly arrived into the attack to dismiss Mayer for 30. The pair had added 47 but the door was open and Kenlock grabbed two more wickets to reduce OE to 75 for 5 wickets. After an impressive opening spell on a hot day, Kenlock the former Surrey player had taken three for forty six off fourteen overs. Hardwick and Jermyn had taken the score to 116 before Hardwick was caught by Ray Tudor off veteran off spinner Graeme Hough for a doughty 44. It was clearly a crucial wicket as the resistance seemed to end as Tanuj Sud twirled his off spinners to take the final four wickets as Old Emanuel tumbled to 119 all out. Sud, the young City lawyer proved to be almost unplayable as the tail failed to score off his last twenty four balls. Sud ended the innings as he took three Old Emanuel wickets with his last four balls. The Dulwich response was led by Steve Hale and Richard Farrow and although runs came quickly, Hale was soon in the pavilion followed by Australian born Mike George. Both had made six and Dulwich were 34 for 2. The skipper was joined by his vice captain, Jack Lusk and together they steadied the ship. After a period of consolidation the Dulwich pair displayed a range of shots all over the wicket as the OE skipper tried six bowlers in an effort to break the partnership. Dulwich wasted no further time as Lusk raced to 46 not out and Farrow stroked the winning run to end on 44 not out. An eight wicket win was the emphatic distance between the teams and next week Dulwich look forward to entertaining Farncombe in the First Division of the Surrey Championship sponsored by Castle Lager.
