SUTTON 321-7 dec (59) vs DULWICH 24-0 (7) – Match abandoned

Dulwich travelled to Sutton for their first “time” game of the season in the Premier Division of the AJ Sports Surrey Championship, but the match was abandoned after seven overs of the second innings.

With rain forecast Dulwich put their opponents in to bat and reaped an early reward when acting skipper Harvey Booth took two wickets with successive balls to reduce them to 27-2 after nine overs. But this brought in Jayden Broodryk, who dominated the rest of the innings, scoring 150 not out off 144 balls. Two other batsmen made half centuries in support, but tight bowling kept the scoring rate in check until the later stages of the innings. Sutton declared on 321-7 after 59 overs as soon as Broodryk reached his landmark score. Booth picked up two more wickets to finish with 4-70 off 14 overs.

James Schofield and Harrison Perry launched the Dulwich reply and had reached 24 without loss after seven overs when the rain, which had caused two earlier brief interruptions, set in for the rest of the day. The match was abandoned with both sides taking twelve points. All the other matches in the division were similarly abandoned, so Dulwich remain in seventh place. Next week they travel to Wimbledon, who have also won two and lost two of their completed matches and are currently two points behind in an unaccustomed eighth position
