Brompton skipper Oli Hale invited Bridgetown to bat first.

Chris Wookey continued to pile up the runs with Sizer, in a partnership worth 77 in 11 overs. Sizer eventually fell to Gary Whitaker for 111, from just 83 balls, with the total 227-3, but his sumptuous strokeplay was the backbone of the Bridgetown innings. Wookey was joined by James McDermott and the pair shared In a stand of 63 from 6 overs, to post a daunting total of 295-4.

Brompton openers Will Ruell and Poole were both dismissed in the first two overs, Ruell bowled by Tom Gliddon and Poole caught behind off a lifting delivery from Wookey, R Hale and S Winter tried to steady the ship, taking the score to 30 before Winter slashed Wookey to backward point, prompting a calamitous collapse from 30-2 to 33-6 as Simon Costello replaced Wookey and ripped the game away with 3 quick wickets.

Whitaker and Oli Hale provided some tail-end resistance as Bridgetown rotated their bowlers, with a bright partnership of 70, but the belated introduction of Ben Weetch into the attack brought about the end of the game as he snared the last two wickets to dismiss Brompton for 134. Bridgetown 295-4 (D Sizer 111, C Wookey 58*, B Luxton 53, J McDermott 28*, B Poole 2-76), Brompton Ralph 134 (O Hale 51, Z Whitaker 32, S Costello 3-15, B Weetch 2-6, T Gliddon 2-14, C Wookey 2-22)
