For the second week in a row three Saturday League teams won and three lost.
The 1st XI entertained Aythorpe Roding 1st XI and batting first were 40-5 but recovered to an all out total of 128 thanks to skipper Matt Williams top scoring with 47. As last week this total looked too low but in a very tight finish the visitors fell 3 runs short with Mike Walsh taking 2-10 off his 12 overs, Matt Gilmore 3-34 and Sree 2-44.
The 2nd XI travelled to Springfield 2nd XI who batting first totalled 231-9. In reply Rayleigh never looked like chasing down this total finishing on 133-5, George Barker (65*) top scoring.
The 3rd XI hosted Brookweald 2nd XI and bowled them out for 94. Steve Adams (42) led the reply and Rayleigh finished on 95-1 to win by 9 wickets.
The 4th XI went to Great Wakering who batted first and amassed 277-8. The 4th XI totalled 179-7 in their innings, Richard Verrinder scoring 72, so lost by 98 runs.
The 5th XI were away at Havering Atte Bower 3rd XI and were skittled out for 59 which the home side passed for the loss of one wicket.
The 6th XI were at home to Wickham 2nd XI who were asked to bat first first and tight bowling from all six bowlers restricted the visitors to an all out total of 119. The 6th XI passed this total for the loss of 2 wickets thanks to an unbeaten third wicket partnership of 79 between Matt Dobson (71*) and Max Jones (13*).
The Women & Girls XI were due to host strong opposition in Kelvedon & Feering but surprisingly the visitors were unable to field a side and forfeited the game.
The Under 15As opened their campaign with a 9 wicket win in a Cup match against Eastwood Under 15s. Eastwood were bowled out for 56 and Rayleigh passed this score for the loss of one wicket. See separate report.
