Foxton 1st XI 262-9 (48 overs) Nassington 1st XI 192-8 (48 overs)

Foxton's hopes of their first win this season were foiled by a stylish hundred from Harry Chappell. Losing the toss and being invited to bat a much weakened Foxton put in a solid performance with the bat. Top scorer was Peter Moor with 71 backed up by Tyler Deas 41, Jeffery Douglas with a patient 35, skipper Lawrence Farnum 25 and Max Bowen and Antonnel Atwell with 21 each, and they were more than happy to post 262-9 from their 48 overs. Leg spinner and skipper Muhammad Haroon was the leading visitors bowler with 15-1-66-5.

The hosts opening attack was somewhat muted with injured fast bowler Douglas resorting to off spin partnered by medium pacer Bowen. Nonetheless they had Nassington in deep trouble at 72-5 with three wickets for Bowen and two for Douglas. Unfortunately for Foxton Chappell was compiling a magnificient hundred containing 18 fours and eventually finishing with 116 not out. Foxton rang the bowling changes late on and with four overs remaining a strike from Deas to remove Tom Norman raised their hopes and had the visitors eight wickets down, but with stubborn resistance from tail enders along with Chappell they managed to hang on for the draw and Foxton went home with the consolation of 14 bonus points.

Next week Foxton are away to March with the 2nd XI home to Milton.
