SURREY LEAGUE DIVISION ONE Selsdon....................162 all out Old Isle & Heston............164-4 (Old Isle & Heston won by six wickets)
A crashing six from Tony Parker sealed an excellent victory for Old Isleworth & Heston on Saturday.
Parker hit a match-winning 61 not out, and featured in a crucial partnership with debutant Richard Barron (57).
Earlier, they had lost two quick wickets before Daniel Hirst (29) steadied the innings.
On a wicket that showed no mercy to batsmen, Selsdon set a tricky target of 162.
Old Isle opening bowlers Trevor Hector (1-34) and Tristan O'Neill proved economical and provided a good platform for Parker (2-39) and Martin Aylett (3-43).
The only time the game threatened to get away from them was when Amit Orora set about the Old Isle bowling with four crunching sixes.
He finally skied a catch to O'Neill, however, and was out for 46.
