Waverley’s Jim Wright (55) including his 10,000th run for the club and Mike Tiley (10) put on 45 for the first wicket. Ollie Hickman (3-23) eventually bowled Wright and then two of the three Upward brothers as Simon Brewer (44) began to hit out. A middle order collapse to Hickman and Jamie Mckenzie (2-33) saw the visitors shaken but Wayne Torrey (43 not out ) and Aiden Upward (26 not out) shored up the tail enabling a score of 200 to be posted on this postage stamp sized ground.

After an excellent tea Hambledon started off well and it looked as if they would get the required total with ease. Chase Pusey (45) and James Willoughby (36) were batting fluently and the first 50 came up easily when a bowling change brought on Dan Litwin (2-39), who soon induced Willoughby to offer a catch to skipper Elborough. Ollie Hickman came in and the situation got worse for Waverley until, with the score at 93, he was finally caught. Now wickets started to tumble to Torrey (2-24) and Adrian Day (3-24), changing the face of the game. McKenzie (21) put up a bit of a fight but it was in vain as his side could not help and were soon all out for 163.
