Bodiam hosted Clive Vale on a hot sunny afternoon. Asked to bat first, Vale found scoring runs hard going on a track which was most uneven and covered in grass.

Off their 40 overs, the visitors posted 159 thanks to S.Price (56), C.Brook (12), S.Brook (45) and K.Patel (12). The wickets came from Colgate (1-20), Barnett (2-16), Foster (1-26), Smeed (2-6), Binod (1-32) and Adams (1-18).

In response, Bodiam came close but we restrained to 142-9 with wickets coming from I.Buss (2-18), J.Patel (1-23), S.Brook (4-18) and S.Price (2-31).
