Asked to bowl first on what looked to be a good wicket with excellent conditions for batting, the Vale bowling attack quickly started to make inroads into the Legion batting line up with wickets coming from Matt Bowles 2-37 and Adam Wickens 2-14. Bowlers Liam Stamp, Rob Hurrell, Guy Wenham and Chris Brook all chipped in with one wicket each. Resistance from the Legion came in the form of Berwick Smith who played very well for an unbeaten 98, Busbridge (17), Foster (16) and Borthwick (11).
Chasing a total of 190, Vale lost both opening batsman early on which led to both Steve Brook (74 not out) and Carl Brook (80 not out) coming together to play excellently for their partnership of 170 to take Vale home by 8 wickets.
