Cricket
Marlow CC
Marlow CC fell to their second defeat in a matter of weeks as they fell 60-runs short of their target against Kew.
Kew set a very competitive target of 253 for their visitors after a comfortable innings with the bat and although Segio Feede (55) and Hareesh Reddy (78) put in strong performances with the bat, a middle order collapse coupled with both Marlow openers departing for ducks made for a difficult day for Imran Nawaz’s side.
That came a week after they lost to local rivals Windsor in difficult batting conditions.
Segio Feede 37 and phil Lines 34 where the top scorers for Marlow but they fell some way short of their hosts target as their top order got the job done with a consistent innings.
Marlow are also out of this year’s Julian Cup competition after failing to progress to the knockout stages.
Marlow Park
It was a better day for Marlow Park as they beat Reading 4s by 88 runs in their Thames Valley Cricket League Division 9a clash.
Frank Alderman’s mammoth 124 not out proved the foundation Park needed for victory as captain Kim Barlow chipped in with a sloid knock of 48.
Reading put in a decent batting performance but fell someway short of their hosts’ target.
Little Marlow put together a solid innings with bat and ball to claim a six-wicket victory over Emmbrook and Bearwood on Saturday.
Matt Wilson (4-27) and Umar Islam (3-28) dominated with the ball in hand to bowls their Embrook out for just 138 runs and Little Marlow made no mistake in their response, wrapping up the match with just four wickets lost.
