Match Drawn.
Daily Blast Comment: A mixed result for Cricket Web Blue. While they can be comforted in having outplayed England A throughout, it still wasn't a win. The bowlers appear to be tired at this point in the season and this really showed when it came to dislodging the England A middle order in the second innings. An epic knock from the skipper, Peter Young and some fine bowling, especially by Adam and Nath Patrick, are a couple of many positives.

Cricket Web Green won by 312 runs.
Daily Blast Comment: This game was undoubtedly won by the Green batting. Honours were fairly even on the 1st innings, but fantastic concentration and purpose shown by the Green top and middle order set the Reds an all but impossible 2nd innings task. The key players were Waugney and Blewy in that respect, but much mention of Cloete's first innings hundred - his 3rd consecutive FC game with such an achievement. Despite the crushing defeat, the Reds can take some small comfort in the old ball bowling of Bugssy and then the determined stance of the tail in the situation. CW Green played a great game and deserved their glory, but CW Red went down with some fight.
