Newly promoted to the Surrey Championship Premier League, Dulwich completed their pre-season friendlies matches with an impressive 60 run victory over Kent Premier league champions, Bromley on Saturday. Both sides had agreed upon a forty over game because of the uncertain weather and Dulwich were put into bat on a wet wicket. Dulwich started badly losing two wickets in the third over off successive balls - Steve Hale and Anil Mahey both being dismissed without scoring. Mark Kelly and Dave Burton took the score to 37 in the twelfth over before Kelly was caught one handed in the slips by the former England player Alan Wells for 24 off the left arm spinner Rob Kerley. Kerley and Atif Khan put a brake on the Dulwich scoring, with Khan taking two wickets at a cost of 11 runs in six overs while Kerley's one wicket for seven runs was achieved in eight overs. Dulwich had limped to 90 -7 off 32 overs before they were rescued by acting skipper Jack Lusk and new recruit Matt Skinner. The partnership added 64 in the last eight overs with Lusk making 50 not out off 59 balls and Skinner 28 not out off 23 balls. Batting second Bromley found batting equally difficult against a good all round bowling performance by the home side. New boy Kervin Marc recruited from Radlett, took the important wicket of Alan Wells while Kelly picked up the other opener. Dulwich's young Sussex pace bowler Dave Burton took 3-15 off eight overs and veteran Graeme Hough weighed in with two wickets for 11 runs off seven overs. Schoolboy Anil Mahey was unable to follow up his seven wicket performance from the previous week and took a single wicket whilst Skinner ended a good all round day with 2 wickets for 12 runs as Dulwich cruised to a sixty run win. Skipper Richard Farrow who returns for the opening Premier league game against Normandy and is very happy with his team's preparations. He has been able to retain most of the squad who have been together for three successive championship wins. Mike George the overseas player has returned to Australia and Mark Kenlock has stepped down top play in the lower leagues. Richard said that Mark Kenlock's contribution over four year's has been terrific and he is pleased that Mark will continue to work as a coach with our colts. He is replaced by Kervin Marc who promises to be every bit as threatening with the ball and hopefully successful with the bat! Richard continued "We have signed a couple of new young players and some of our own youngsters are now stepping up to the mark. We hope that with continuity from last year and the impact of our new players, we will do well in Surrey's top league. We will need good availability and some luck as each week we will be playing top sides "
