West Mersea II v Eight Ash Green Cricket Club Two Counties 2nd XI (Saturday) on Sat 18 Jul 2026 at 1pm
Eight Ash Green Cricket Club Won by 6 wickets

Match report EAG 2nd XI travelled to West Mersea to take on a side with only one defeat all season.

The pitch looked bowler friendly and we were surprised when the hosts won the toss and decided to bat. Did they know something we didn't? Nope. EAG opening bowlers Dev Agrawal and Nico Dormant took the game by the scruff of the neck and had the hosts reduced to 37-5 after 18 overs. Dev finished with 2-20 off 10 overs and Nico 3 for 18 off 9 overs. We tried to press our advantage but Mersea dug in bravely and although they didn't cut loose at any stage, EAG only made two more breakthroughs in the second half of their innings, leaving West Mersea on 106-7 off their 40 overs.

We needed to bat sensibly in our reply on this super slow and low bouncing wicket to secure the win. The two opening bowlers for Mersea were probably the best opening pair we have faced all season and with EAG on 30-4 it looked like the game was very much in the balance. All we needed was one good partnership, an 'army of two' if you like, to steady the ship and push us to victory. That pair was Jack Axon with 53 not out (off 63 balls) and Troy Collins with 44 not out (8 fours). Their unbeaten partnership of 78 took the Green to a victory and an important win over one of our closest rivals.

Troy Collins was player of the match for his 44 not out and 1-20 off ten overs.
