Milburn's 63 builds a solid platform for victory
In the local derby match on Saturday Little Waltham 239-9 in 45 overs (Ben Milburn 63, James Coyle 35, Mark Chapman 3-42, Graham Brown 3-79) beat Great Waltham 217-9 in 45 overs (Sam Harris 37, Gary Bloom 34, Mark Chapman 34, Godding 32, Max Anderson 5-40, Dan Fell 3-51) by 22 runs.
A poor fielding display from Great Waltham enabled Little Waltham to post a competitive 239-9 with Milburn proving to be the rock around which the innings was built, with useful cameos all the way down the batting order.
In the run chase, Great Waltham looked well set at 90-2 in the 20th over but a three-wicket burst from Fell saw them reduced to 105-5.
Great Waltham rallied and solid partnerships saw them recover to 192-6 but the return of Anderson to the attack saw wickets tumble and the run-rate jump as a valiant chase ended 22 runs short.
