Bolney's Michael Gould 42 got the home sides innings of to a lightning quick start, as he took a liking to Glynde's opening attack, but young Wyatt Watson then bowled him a an unplayable delivery, which nipped back into him and sent the off stump cartwheeling into the air and the first ball of his next over he had the other opener caught on the boundary as he took 2-42 from his 4 over spell.

Will Burton Durham, his opening partner, then proceeded to take 3-33 as he finished a superb spell of bowling to leave Bolney on 79-5. Needing around 5 an over Glynde spinners then came into the attack and it was Archie Hall George Burton Durham, with a wicket each. who bowled particularly well as they suffocated the middle order batting conceding just 52 runs in the 14 overs they bowled between them.

Seamer Louis Baron 3-15 was able to finish the innings off as Bolney were bowled out for 175, with only Jigar Parekh 52 not out able to survive the Glynde bowling.

This was a superb bowling performance from what is still a young Glynde bowling attack.
