Andrew Whitley was next in and he only scored 11 before he was bowled leaving Lea 90 for 3.

Mathew Housham came to the crease and he and Lobley took the score to 138 before Lobley was run out for 27.

This started a collapse as Marriott, Ironside and Anderson were all out quickly leaving Lea 154 for 8 with Housham also going for a well made 39.

David Law and Ben Alsop finished with style, however, leaving Lea 175 for 9 at the close.

Lea’s opening bowlers Housham and Law bowled well but Clumber started very aggressively racing to 27 before both bowlers took a wicket leaving the visitors 27 for 2.

Clumber did not change their attitude, however, and when Ironside eventually took a wicket Clumber had reached 101 and looked in control.

Despite Marriott taking a wicket at 134, the innings of Beard won Clumber the game as he finished on 99 not out and Lea were left to regret the three difficult chances which they put down.
