With a modest total it was important that the Clowne attack bowled a tight line early on and take early wickets. Opening the bowling was the now fit again Dave Swannack and the in form Paul Linacre. It was not long before this pair made the breakthrough with Swannack having Burnham caught behind for 1. However after this initial breakthrough the Clowne attack could not take any more wickets however very few runs were being scored after 15 overs the Belper total was only 14. Kinsey (3-30) was then brought into the attack and was rewarded instantley having both Briant and Harris caught in the deep off his first over. He then took the wicket of Deeming (8) in his 3rd over again caught in the deep by safe hand Chalky. Pollard (2-25) then had Bradder (6) bowled and Elmore (0) LBW as Clowne pushed for the win. Howver Belper captain and R Deeming had other ideas and quickly pushed the score up to 90 with 12 overs left, however Linacre was brought back into the attack and had Deeming LBW for a rapid 21. With little batting left Spencer looked to farm the bowling but he could not prevent Driffiths (0) and Spendlove (1) falling leaving Belper 9 down with 3 overs to bat. Despite every effort Swannack (2-19) and Linacre (2-13) could not remove the last wicket leaving Clowne with only 15 points insted of the full 27 if they had bowled the Belper team out.
