Great Bromley and District Cricket Club Sunday XI v West Mersea on Sun 31 May 2009 at 2pm
Great Bromley and District Cricket Club Lost by 8 wickets

Match report West Mersea the visitors to Rectory Road in a game similar to the previous week. Again it was a hot, the wicket looked good and Bromley won the toss and chose to bat first. Once again the batsmen failed to deliver and Bromley lost early wickets without really troubling the score. Sam and Pip lead the fightback and batted well together pushing the singles and punishing the bad balls. However when Sam was run out for 60 the resistance soon ended as Pip was caught behind a few overs later for 48. Another disappointing total of 147 all out in the 39th over is uncharacteristic of a Bromley team that failed for the third successive time to even bat 45 overs.
West Mersea seemed as if they had somewhere important to be as openers Mills and Rutter dispatched the ball to all parts of the ground. Described by one disheartened bowler as "baseball style" Mills bludgeoned 10 fours and 2 sixes in his 61 before being given out LBW to Louis. Rutter made 60 in seemingly equal time before he was stumped of the bowling of Sam. Harness (21*) and Tilsey (5*) saw Mersea home in the 18th over for an easy 8 wicket victory.

Three defeats in three games all with scores under 150 is really not good enough in division one. A vast improvement is required and perhaps next weeks cup game against Tendering would be a good place to start.
