Of course, after a scorching week, the weather turned on Saturday, and a game that was reduced to 35 overs at the start, was further reduced to 30 overs after further rain breaks.
Usually batting first in a rain affected match, is a disadvantage, but we managed to reach 228-4 thanks to 2 brilliant innings from Edward Bartlett 75 and Ejaz Deane 77.
In reply we manage to restrict Luddesdowne to 153-4, with Ejaz Deane, completing a fine all-round match taking 2-13.
Speldhurst 228-4 off 30 overs (Edward Bartlett 75, Ejaz Deane 77) beat Luddesdowne 153-4 off 30 overs (Andrew Peeke 33, John Gawen 48*, Z Rawfy 36), by 75 runs.
