Crowthorne & Crown Wood third XI took full points again after an impressive 50 run victory away to Shinfield 4s.

On a scorching day, the Crows won the toss and elected to bat.

Some tight bowling by Shinfield and variable bounce from the pitch left the Crows on 35-3 and facing an uphill struggle.

An excellent century partnership from Simon Sheppard (64) and Prakash (72) Singh wrestled the momentum back.

Debutant youth player Arjit Das (11) made a useful contribution to help the Crows post a defendable 202-6 from their 40 overs.

In the field, the Crows were miserly in the first 10 overs with tight bowling from Marshall Miller (0-27) and Shravan Sathiyan (1-5) giving the away side the upper hand.

The game swung back to Shinfield with an excellent partnership including 61 for Vineet Gandhi, but just as Shinfield were threatening to take control Mike Storey (2-29) got the key breakthrough.

At the other end Dave McQuitty (4-31) probed away and took wickets with regularity, including a one handed catch from keeper/captain Richard Hester and a brilliant grab in the deep from Arjit Das to give the Crows full control.

They then closed out the game with smart death bowling from Prakash Singh (2-19) to make it 6 wins on the spin and leave them comfortably in fourth place in BCL Div 3 with the teams above them now looking over their shoulders.
