Match Report:

After winning the toss and electing to bat, Goodacre held the innings together until he was fifth out with the total at 80.  Taft and Binns made a good recovery but a total of 148 on a good, but slow, pitch and fast outfield was short of what was required.  Repton kept it tight until the drinks' break, with Frost bowling a miserly spell of bowling.  However, the other bowlers were not as restrictive and the opposition batsmen took their chances, and so eased past Repton's total with ten balls to spare.
