 CRICKET CLUB RESULTS

31st Aug PDQ 2 Home Vs Gt Totham - Boxted chose to bat and from the start scored at 6 an over. The innings continued to accelerate as Chris Rich 83, Mike Pearce 73, Ian Evans 56 and Ed Whybrow 52 not out all scored half centuries as we reached a season's best 367-5. In reply Gt Totham could not mount a serious challenge and with Ian Evans taking 6-37 they were eventually bowled out for 151 to lose by 216 runs.

 31st Aug PDQ 3 Away Vs Abberton - Abberton made an imposing score of 272 for the loss of only 4 wickets. The pick of the bowlers was Andy Wilson who picked up a couple of wickets.
