Division 1
Sudbrook 1st 258 all out beat Llandaff 1st 228 all out by 30 runs.
An unbeaten 86 runs from skipper Mathew Kinchin and two four-wicket hauls for Joey Voke and Pumudushan Sedara helped Sudbrook to a welcome victory in Division 1.

Kinchin faced 118 deliveries while hitting 10 boundaries and one maximum, and losing partners along the way.
In reply, Sudbrook’s bowling was shared by Sedara (4-29 with two maidens in his 10-over spell while Joe Voke also bagged a fourfer at a cost of 37 runs with two maidens, the other two wickets to Jason Cook (1-20) and Michael Provis (1-32).
