East Keswick XI vs. Orpington CC

Orpington CC won their touring 20/20 friendly match by 8 runs after batting first and making 168-4. Pick of the Orpington batting was Chris White who made a fluent 58* before retiring and Ben Clarkson who made 36. For East Keswick Andy Barber was the star performer with the ball claiming two wickets on the way to figures of 4-0-31-2.

In reply Rahul made a fine 48 including five fours and three sixes. The Keswick middle order failed to fire however but unlikely win was brought within reach as Kamran smashed four sixes and a four in a rearguard 34. In the end however Keswick fell 8 runs short and retreated back to the Duke of Wellington with the touring side for some sandwiches, a well earned beer and presentation.

Best wishes to Orpington for the rest of their tour and season.
