| Result | Lose Draw - Old Wilsonians (11pts), Rodmersham(4pts) |
Having won the toss in a game due to be played on a rain affected pitch and asked the opposition to bat, Rodmersham missed a golden opportunity for victory. Old Wilsonians were reduced to 39 for 4 after 17 overs but were then allowed to claw their way to 144 all out aided and abetted by 14 wides and no balls. Bowling honours went to Tom Roach (4 for 27) and Paul Mansell (4 for 42).
The Rodmersham batsmen struggled to come to terms with the conditions and failed to turn lengthy crease occupation into runs. The run rate achieved was barely above two per over as the innings closed on 123 for 9 to give Old Wilsonians the lion's share of the points.
