'Stow Away and Gone

Goresbrook’s second string suffered a 37 run reversal at M & B Sports Ground on Saturday. Walthamstow skipper Deepan Gnanalingam won the toss and elected to bat on a hard, dry track. His decision was rewarded as openers Scott Devine (67) and Tom Davey (61) made hay with the willow. A four wicket salvo from Karamat Ali propelled ‘Brook back into the match whilst teenager Aryaman Parida caught the eye with an excellent spell of 3 for 23. With five of the last seven ‘Stow batsmen accumulating double figures, the visitors posted a challenging total of 256 for 9 from their allotted 50 overs.
After tea, George Sleight (37), captain Rohit Sharma (32) and Manish Battan (31) impressed in the early order. 3 scalps apiece for Abhishek Sharma and Yasser Syed put the visitors in the ascendancy and despite late cameos from Ali Raza (35 not) Lovelin Mostra (28), the men from the west of the county ran out winners by 32 runs.

Walthamstow 2nd 231 for 9 from 50 Overs (25 points) beat Goresbrook 2nd 224 all out from 40.2 Overs (8 points) by 32 runs
