Eight Ash Green Cricket Club Two Counties 2nd XI (Saturday) v Maldon III on Sat 23 May 2026 at 1pm
Eight Ash Green Cricket Club Won by 7 wickets

Match report The Eight Ash Green CC 2nd XI posted their second win of the season with a professional performance against a Maldon 3rd team.

Losing the toss EAG were put in the field in sweltering heat but adapted well to the conditions with their best bowling and fielding displays of the season. Our bowlers were led by a terrific display from Dev Agrawal with 11 overs of high quality seam and swing bowling. He fully deserved his 4 wickets for 36 runs. Jonathan Purser followed Dev's lead with a controlled series of good length and yorker deliveries and was unlucky to only take 2 wickets off his seven overs. The skipper turned to youth and the high quality bowling continued with Finlay Barnard and Thomas Riley delivering matching figures of 5 overs for 7 runs. Skipper Collins then brought himself on and 11 balls later Maldon were all out for 110, Collins posting figures of 1.5 overs, 4 wickets for 2 runs. Ridiculous stuff.

Our bowling was outstanding but it was our fielding that really stepped up this week. Commitment from all players to chase hard and put their bodies in the way of the ball created a stifling pressure for the Maldon team who couldn't break free. Leading from the front was our debut keeper, Glen Amos, who put in a sparking performance behind the stumps.

The EAG reply was as efficient a run chase as you will see. JP scored a brilliant 57 not out, supported by our player of the match Glen Amos (24), and the green reached the target with 3 wickets down in the 24th over.

An excellent all-round team effort.
