A frustrating rain affected weekend. 3 Saturday matches abandoned and only one win.

Winning the toss the 1st XI asked their visitors, Chignal to bat first on and by virtue of a lot of dropped catches allowed them to total 175 all out, Jon Cook taking 5-39. In another disappointing performance with the bat, they were bowled out for 88, only Jason Ox (29) troubling the scorers.

The 2nd XI match at Great Totham was called off without a ball being bowled due a waterlogged pitch.

The 5th XI visited top of the league Billericay St Johns 2nd XI and batting first totalled 158 all out, Adam Keeley (74) and Duncan Bond (32) top scoring . With Rayleigh sportingly carrying on bowling in the wet, the home side passed the required total for the loss of 7 wickets, Andy James taking 2-41.

The Saturday 6th XI entertained Rayleigh Fairview 4th XI at Gloucester Park, Basildon and batting first struggled against some accurate bowling and finished their 40 overs on 110-9, Nick Buckley (30) and Mike Humphrey (13*) being the only batsmen to reach double figures.
