AMERSHAM CC Won by 56 runs

Match report In their penultimate match of the season against the division's whipping-boys, Amersham II beat Chiswick & Latymer III with just four balls to spare in a nail-biting finale to claim 25 very welcome points and lift them out of the relegation zone.

Amersham opted to bat first, and despite the variable bounce of the pitch, they were soon on top as the openers imposed their authority on the Chiswick bowlers. 16-year-old Andrew Viney batted throughout for a high-class 101*, and was well supported by Paul Weston (19), Matt Ash (23) and Jack Kilgannon (41). After a late ambush from Ian Rogers (18*), the declaration came after just 47 overs with the score on 225-4.

Chiswick stumbled to 22-3 to start their innings, but after a mini-recovery by van Eeden (26) and Farooqi (29) they slumped again to 91-7. With 22 overs to go, an Amersham victory seemed a formality, but Chiswick didn't roll over with more spirited counter-attacking from Barnes (25) and Malhotra (34). The bowlers were continually rotated with spinners Ash (2-12) and David Sidebottom (2-29) the most impressive, but after a simple chance was missed at cover with the last pair at the crease, Chiswick looked set to hang on for a draw. With his final throw of the dice, skipper Tim Aylott tossed the ball to Jeremy Good to bowl the final over. His second ball was a straight knee-high full toss, which struck Malhotra on the pad, and despite a somewhat unconvincing appeal, he was given out lbw to the delight and relief of the home team.

* champagne moment - Jeremy Good, his final-over match winning delivery.
