4's lose thriller off last ball

Goresbrook 4's travelled to Shenfield on Saturday and found not only the home team expecting to play but Mathews Cricket club of Chigwell.
Rather than have cricketers miss out on a game it was decided to play a triangular tournament with 3 x 15 over matches.
Brook batted first against Shenfield and runs came a plenty, just not off the bat, Jo Wilkinson and Keith Maund struggling to put bat on ball as the home attack struggled with their line and length.
Zayn Yusuf with 21, Owen Elsom with 17 and Paul Atkins with 12, including a huge maximum, top scored for Brook as they totalled 93-6 from their 15 overs.
Shenfield's reply got off to a flyer but Matthew Elsom bowled Shenfield's skipper and Mark Sleight took a catch off Dapper Dan O Sullivan to bring Brook back into the game. Owen Elsom got in on the act with a return catch and Paul Atkins knocked the stumps over to keep Brook in the hunt. Owen Elsom picked up cleanly at square leg and threw in to Lee Carter who removed the bails to leave Shenfield requiring 4 off the last over. 3 were scored of the first 5 balls but the homester's crept home off the last ball for a 5 wicket win.
