Cranham Tame Hawks

This much anticipated top-of-the-table clash delivered a one-side outcome
that may have suprised some in the Stroud League.

Having seen off Eastcombe in the previous week, Hawkesbury lay top of the 
Premier table and would have been briming with confidence going into this game
remembering also the emphatic nature of their victory over Cranham in the 
first fixture.

This didn't translate in Hawkesbury's batting however as spinners James Pockett
(4-13) and Steve Walden (3-21) ripped through the order to leave them in tatters
on 104 all out.  A dogged 37* from Bailey was the only highlight.

In reply Cranham were never in trouble and James Pockett was the only casualty.
Ben (39*) and Alex Pockett (37*) steered Cranham home to a rousing 9 wicket victory
the effect of which would prove to topple Hawkesbury off top spot back down to 3rd
and ascend Cranham to 2nd place - their highest position thus far this season.

So it's calculators at the ready this weekend as any one of the top three could 
finish as either Champions or runners-up... and they said this league was one-side!
