Clowne were put in to bat by Denby on a very warm afternoon, new opening partnership Andy Smalley and Phil Bennett started brightly before Smalley fell to a very questionable LBW to Foulke for 7. Adam White and Bennett then took the score past fifty White was looking fluent but still found the fielders with most off his aggresive shots and he finally fell with the score on 54 for a well made 14. Len Wright came in and knocked the ball around nicely for 15 before being caught trying to flick one off his legs in an identical dismissal to White's. Then Mark Osborne and Graham White quickly followed back to the pavillion as Clowne subsided to 105 for 5. Phil Bennett's barnacle like resistance was then ended by Foulke caught and bowled for 48 as a promising position slipped away. However Matt Linacre and Paul Osborne briefly threatened to reserect the innings with 16 and 17 respectively but Clowne finally subsided to a disapointing 135 all out in their 46 overs. Pick of the bowlers were Foulke (12-2-24-3) and Cherry (11-0-35-3).
