Wins for the 2nd, 4th and 6th Rayleigh teams in the T Rippon Mid Essex League.

T Rippon Mid Essex Premier Division.  Saturday saw the visit of top of the table Springfield 1st XI for the fourth League fixture this season and batting first the Rayleigh 1st XI innings, anchored by Ben Francis (82), got away to an excellent start and at 128-1 looked in position to set a challenging target for the visitors. Disappointingly another mid order collapse saw them finish on 161 all out, which score Springfield passed for the loss of 7 wickets in the 34th over with Ian Bryant taking 4-46.

T Rippon Mid Essex League Division 2.  The 2nd XI travelled to Bentley 2nd XI and batting first scored 262-6, Matt Lennox (80) and Chris Frost (52*) putting on 140 in 15 overs supported by Dan Frost (42) and Steve Lynch (35). They then bowled the home side out for 132, Paul Davies taking 3-22 and Dan Frost 3-30.

T Rippon Mid Essex League Division 5. Weakened by poor availability the 3rd XI visited Little Baddow and batting first scored 150-8, Steve Adams (48), Simon Harwood (28) and Neil Noble (27) leading the scoring. The home side passed the target for the loss of 2 wickets.

T Rippon Mid Essex League Division 7. The 4th XI entertained Danbury, and batting first scored 252-3. Rolling back the years Phil Wolff opened the innings and carried his bat for 132 not out from 132 balls and was well supported by Brad Walker (38) and John Wright (35*). They then bowled the visitors out for 178, 13 year old Adam Sullivan taking 4-49 and (the somewhat older) John Wright 3-40.

T Rippon Mid Essex League Division 10.  The 5th XI hosted a strong Rayne 2nd XI who batted first and totalled 184-10, Mark Stratton taking 4-22. In reply Rayleigh started well with Paul Spratt scoring 59 but with overs to spare the innings fell away to 167 all out to lose by 17 runs.

T Rippon Mid Essex League Division 11.  The 6th XI visited bottom of the table Boreham 2nd XI and batting first rattled up 229-4, Toby Turner (74) and Andy Lynch (71) featuring in a partnership of 129.  The home side were bowled out for 115, Dave Turner taking 4-14 and Rebecca Holyoak 3-17.
