3's maintain 100% record

Visiting the De Rougement Ground that had seemed to escape the mornings showers, Owen Elsom lost the toss and took his charges onto the field with debutant Shakeel Akhtar in the ranks.
Siraj Zafar continued his fine form with the ball grabbing a wicket in his 2nd over but it was Akhtar who impressed early on with his tidy cover fielding and he chased a cut shot seemingly destined for the boundary, stopped it returned the ball to Steve Rooke behind the stumps who glefully not only whipped off the bails but all three stumps as well. Akhtar followed up not long after with a second run out stifle the home innings. Batters all got starts but wickets fell regularly. Bobby Granger bowled a very tidy spell that went unrewarded but this enabled Mafi Choudhury to grab three wickets in 10 balls to leave Brentwood really up against it. However Siraj returned to effect a run out and bowl the number 11 bat and close the innings on 120 from 30.1 overs.
Brooks reply got off to a flyer with Andy Livett guding two balls to the rope but thereafter, he and Martin Rooke took a circumspect approach, mrerly dispaching any bad balls to the boundary. at 20 overs Brook were 80-0 and it was very slow going for a few overs but soon enough runs began to flow freely. Nevertheless both batters were dropped while looking to win the game and a boundary off former Blythswood player Mark Townsend saw Brook home with nearly 10 overs to spare.
Next up for Brook is a home time game against Oakfleid Parkonians.

Brentwood 5th 120 all out from 30.1 overs (0 points) lost to Goresbrook 3rds 121 for 0 form 30.1 overs (20 points) by 10 wickets
