In ever
decreasing light, Whitchurch’s final wicket (Kilford & Kilford)
valiantly held off the might of Bradfield’s bowling attack until the
inevitable rain arrived and the match ended in a draw. True, but oh
how misleading; Bradfield were better in all departments other than the
scorebook!!.
A second-wicket partnership of 170 took Bradfield to an impressive score of 206 for 4 at tea and thereafter Whitchurch limped to 52 for 9 when the rain arrived. Whitchurch’s highlight was Matt Kilford’s contribution with both bat and ball - three overs at the death for very little and a wicket, and a straight bat until the rain arrived.
Editor: Which ‘old man’, with so many to choose from, is he referring to?

After the match Matt Kilford said: “If the old man hadn’t given so many away when he bowled I could have gone for the win”
