Opener Jamie Barnes (38) was the only one of the top four to make any sort of a score. But Skipper Darren Williams (43) and some of the younger players Tom Winetroube (28), Joel Hirst (26 not out) and Ty Davis (23) made useful contributions to get Ickwell to 202 all out. The Old Warden reply got off to a good start before Ben Fensome dismissed Mark Brownridge (24) in his first over. Johnny Dove (62) Was top scorer and as long he was at the wicket an Old Warden victory looked likely.

Ickwell won by 27 runs.
