| By

Despite the deluge of rain earlier in the week and intermittent heavy showers on Saturday four League sides completed their games resulting in two wins and two defeats in relatively low scoring games on slow and damp pitches.

T Rippon Mid Essex Premier Division.  The 1st XI travelled to play Old Chelmsfordians 1st XI who batted first and were bowled out for 139, Steve Bolland taking 4-26 and Matt Gilmore 3-29. Losing two wickets for 2 runs gave Rayleigh a poor start from which they never really recovered and despite a rearguard action by Jim Ewing (27) and Jon Cook (19) Rayleigh fell short by 28 runs.  

T Rippon Mid Essex League Division 2.  The 2nd XI entertained neighbours Rayleigh Fairview who batted first and were bowled out for 100, Trevor Nunn taking 8-25.  The 2nd XI passed this total for the loss of 5 wickets, Chris Frost (26*), Adam Krise (26) and Steven Lynch (23) leading the scoring. 

T Rippon Mid Essex League Division 5. The 3rd XI hosted Rettendon 2nd XI and batting first were bowled out for 83, only Steve Gosling (30) offering any resistance to accurate bowling.  The visitors passed this total for the loss of 3 wickets, Mike Walsh taking 3-24.

T Rippon Mid Essex League Division 10.  Eastwood 3rd XI were the visitors to the 5th XI, who batted first and scored 167-3. Simon Lennox (52), Mark Stratton (43) and Owen Davies (42*) top scoring. The visitors were always behind the required scoring rate and finished on 112-8, Mihir Patel taking 3-29.

The 4th XI, 6th XI and 7th XI games were all cancelled due to waterlogged pitches.

The Women and Girls XI went to Hutton and bowled them out for 55, Rebecca Holyoak taking 3 wickets and Louise Harmsworth 2.  Needing 6 runs from the last 5 overs, Rayleigh collapsed to all out score of 51, Rebecca Holyoak (16) and Louise Harmsworth (14).
