Mark Pike (49) and Keith Baldock (47) looked to be mounting a good challenge, but a fine spell by Daryl Woodford (4-23) sparked a collapse and Stanford won by 38 runs.

A mad scramble for the winning runs saw the visitors keep their heads best to clinch a thrilling 3 run victory.

Matthew
Page 34no
President’s Day provided a feast of runs, despite a start delayed by the weather, as the Club & Ground sent down a strong side. Essex staffer Jahid Ahmed (105), clattered the ball to all parts, before being brilliantly run out by Robert Page. The visitor’s declared on a healthy 258, leaving Stanford with a tight run chase. They almost managed it, thanks to Bill Poskitt Jnr’s superb, undefeated 123. He dominated an opening partnership of 130 with Robert Page (43) to set up the platform for an unlikely win. However, Essex tightened up the bowling and picked up some quick wickets to slow down the chase. Needing 58 from only 5 overs, Stanford unleashed Matthew Page (38no), but his violent assault still left Stanford 8 runs shy. Match Drawn.
