MID-ESSEX LEAGUE DIVISION 10 – SATURDAY JULY10 th.

ECHO & MONACHS 3rd XI 273 FOR 5

PEGASUS & CORRINGHAM 3rd XI 92 ALL OUT

P & C LOST BY 181 RUNS.

An under-strength P & C were well and truly beaten by Echo on Saturday.

Echo batted first and despite losing a couple of early wickets they raced to 273 for 5 from their 45 overs. D Winn (115) and M.Ivvine (78) scored with ease and only Dave Tolson (3 for 36) from 12 overs kept the score down.

In reply P & C put on 68 for the first wicket with Peter Thompson (53) and Bob Witts (18) but once they were out wickets fell regularly and P & C were dismissed for 94. Sloane (5 for 23) was Echo’s main wicket taker.

If P & C are to be in contention for promotion they will need to improve their availability.
