The Willows
won by 56 runs
The Willows XI batted first and complemented by an outstanding century by Sean Coffey (100 retired) got through to 209 off their allotted 40 overs.
Geoff Miller turned the clock back with an excellent 36 and Bob Masefield, belying his No 10 status, engaged in some lusty blows ending 15 not out.
Kings started well but the early introduction of spin into the attack saw them a tad confused. Marty Kain went for 12 runs off his 8 overs and Bob Masefield, Henry Fisher and Andrew Nuttall all went for less than 30 off their allotment. T Stevens batted well being the top scorer.
Trevor Thornton chimed in at the end with his one over and Joe Bennett contributed to his growing status as a latter day Godfrey Evans with 3 stumpings.
