	McKay	0.2	0	3	0

Notes:

The Erratics fielded ten players. Harpsden won the toss and elected to bat.

One of those ghastly innings, with long pauses while players searched through particularly clingy undergrowth for lost balls. The Harpsden total came off just 32 overs and two balls — their skipper taking pity on us and calling a halt midway through an over!

Notes:

There was a good partnership of 90 between Peter Andrews and Jim Head. But after Jim was run out, the Erratics gave the Harpsden keeper some catching practice. With debutant Alex Padmore having to depart before the end, it was left to skipper Tristan Ward and Richard Heller to bat out six and a half overs for an inglorious draw.
