Middlesex Championship Division One
Perivale Phonecians 103 all out
Wycombe House 105-5
Wycombe House won by five wickets
Having helped the groundsman get the pitch ready for play following early morning heavy rain, skipper Alex Thamby then guided Wycombe House back to the top of the table.
Thamby took four Perivale wickets, with Hassan Shah also picking up one, before the spinners came in, and Sohail Elahi also claimed the scalps before Shah was brought back to mop up the tail with the final two wickets.
Chasing 103, House lost a couple of early wickets, which brought little Savin Perera to the crease, and the 14 year old showed the older heads how to bat with patience and composure. He was there until the end with an unbeaten 34, while debutant Hassan Hanif knocked off the winning runs as House won by five wickets.
Also in Division One, Osterley (116) lost by 115 runs to Bessborough (231-5), while in Division Three, Old Isleworthians & Heston were skittled out for 51 as they lost 98 runs to Tamil United (149), and in Division Four, Rajput Samaj's game against Lanka Lions was abandoned.
In the Middlesex County Cricket League, a dramatic finish Division Two leaders Indian Gymkhana (130) grabbed a winning draw against Southgate (129-9), the overs running out before either Gymkhana could take the final wicket or Southgate hit the winning runs.
In the Thames Valley Cricket League, Chiswick & Latymer thought they had blown if when they were bowled out for just 99 against Stoke Green in Division Two B, but Vikas Tokas led the way with 5-23 as they skittled Stoke for 58 to win by 41 runs. But in Division Two A, British Airways (72) lost by eight wickets to Harefield seconds (74-2).
