Chislehurst & West Kent II |
| Match Type | Forester Kent League |
| Venue | Bottles Lane |
| Date | Sat 25th August 2001 |
| Result | Rodmersham (16pts) beat Chislehurst & West Kent (1pt) by 6 wkts |
Despite a resolute 55 by S Lucas, Chislehurst & West Kent could not break the stranglehold put on them by the Rodmersham bowlers, outstanding for whom were Steve Day (3 for 18 in 10.2 overs) and Neil Cheesman (3 for 24 in 14 overs).
Set a target of 113 in 52 overs, some of the younger batsmen thought they could knock them off in 10 overs and predictably got themselves out to some atrocious shots they will want to forget. With the score at 62 for 4 after 12 overs, Graham Piesley(42*) was joined by fellow senior pro Trevor Jackson(22*) who restored sanity to the situation as they demonstrated how easy it is to coast to victory on a blameless batting pitch.
