Brook’s second string suffered a heavy defeat following the long journey to Harlow on Saturday. After winning the toss and batting first, Town’s early order punished any loose offerings from the visiting attack. Joe Spiers (81) and Sreerag Radhakrishnan (68 not) made hay with the willow whilst Abdullah Ahmed and Bobby Granger picked up consolation wickets as the hosts posted a mammoth 245 for 2.

After the tea interval, Goresbrook’s batsmen faced a tall order with Dan Hooper (28) and Ahmed (27) threatening to compile big knocks before falling. Teenager Jack Gibson (20) caught the eye with a late cameo but the Dagenham outfit crashed to 124 all out and a whopping 124 run reversal.

Harlow Town 2nd 245 for 2 from 50 Overs (25 points) Beat Goresbrook 2nd 121 all out from 37.1 Overs (0 points) by 124 runs
