Hobbs eventually falling for a well crafted (83). Wickets were lost in the pursuit of quick runs, but the 200 target was never in doubt and the Thatcham innings closed on 217-9 from 51overs. M.Simmonite (4-64) was the most successful Finchampstead bowler who was well supported by the Finchampstead fielders in difficult conditions.

Thatcham opened up with slow medium and although Nic Voller (1-30) made an early breakthrough wickets were hard to come by. Mongers (2-41) off spin appeared to be more threatening, but Finchamstead were always up with the run rate. News had filtered through that Thatcham needed just 6 wickets to gain promotion, but with only 4 wickets down and only 5 overs remaining A.HULL (38) and A.JONES (48) had given the visitors more than a sniff of victory, but 2 wickets in an over from Bloor (2-19) ensured the points required for promotion. Finchamstead finished on 202 -7 from 47 overs.
