Fitzworthingham Broncos vs Davistow Darters
@ Simmons Park
MOTM: AR Arnold
Whilst not as convincing as the CWXI win over Bangladesh in a few days time, Fitzworthingham demolished a lacklustre Davistow side, Arnold & Speirs 327 run 3rd wicket partnership totalling higher than the entire Davistow outfit, who managed 314 in two innings. Needless to say it was a rout. It may be worth noting that Arnold's 227 came off 147 balls, with 23 fours & 4 sixes. Demolition.

Garven Island Sharks vs Nixonstown Foxes
@ Clowich Stadium
MOTM: JWBW Flanaghan
The Following match report brought to you by Cricketweb, the cricket lovers. After I simmed the game and saw it was a draw, I figured Fitzsimmons had scored his maiden octuple century. Well that was a major let down, because he didn't. Instead, we saw a low score, followed by a lower score, followed by a follow on, which was large, finally followed by a draw. Follow? Our try hard WPUJC Vaas, JWBW Flanaghan was the main reason for the large follow on, and hence gets MOTM honours.

Gofftown Tigers vs Pickford Panthers
@ Gofftown Oval
MOTM: NJ Masterman
I wasn't sure whether to reward Roberts or not, on one hand he got 8/66 in the first innings, which is a fine effort, and set the Panthers up for a win, on the other hand, his 2/80 in the second innings off 12.4 overs cost them the game. Well, he certainly was involved in the match. Instead, in a somewhat controversial decision, I gave the award to he who lives up to his name. 67 runs at number 9 to win the match is a match winning performance, masterful one might say.

Greater Robbham de Grooters vs Edfield Seahawks
@ CW BAR Ground
MOTM: GN Nayak
82 runs, 10/91. Apart from that a pretty ugly game, Robbham rolled over and died nearly as badly as Davistow. OK, not that badly, but bad nonetheless.

Maddington Frenzy vs Stedingham Jets
@ Bacchanalia Fields
MOTM: AK Syed.
Yet another follow on in today's grade games. Syed was the major difference between the teams, although Malone Jnr's century was the other. Apart from that, all pretty quiet, just going through the motions here.

Twybridge Titans vs Campsfield Braves
@ Riverside
MOTM: BC Donald
Blackman failed me. I was looking forward to the Campsfield report, thinking of the excitement it would bring to the children, instead, I was met with despair! This was ugly cricket at it's best.
