Thankfully the weather on the day was better than the consistent rain during the previous week which ensured a soft wicket and slow outfield which limited this tie to a relatively low scoring contest.
Witley won the toss and decided to bowl on a challenging track hoping the weather would dry it out and offer a better surface to chase on.
However a solid batting display including some great running from a young Wrecclesham side incorporating a typically exuberant 22 from J. Wright a hard hitting 24 from D. Vasey and a well crafted 29 Not Out from C. Windeat ably supported from the rest of the line up meant Wrecclesham posted a competitive 140 - 9 off their 45 overs.
J. Carpenter was the pick of the bowlers for Witley bowling well to suit the conditions and posted decent figures of 2 - 13 from 8 overs.
Witley started the chase in slow fashion mainly due to some very accurate bowling from O. Caston and the evergreen G. Larby which reduced the visitors to just 13 runs in the first 17 overs.
Witley battled admirably but were outdone by some consistent bowling and fine fielding as Wrecclesham upped the pressure and reduced the visitors to 22 - 4 after D. Vasey picked up 2 wickets in 2 balls including the dogged Skinner and the floodgates opened.
J. Boniface cleaned up the tail with the minimum of fuss picking up 3 for 3 and Wreccelsham wrapped up a deserved and comprehensive victory.
