Phil Bennett lost the toss and Clowne were asked to bat first by Riddings skipper Sweeting. D Fenn, the fastest bowler seen for quite sometime by the seconds, opened the bowling for Riddings against Bennett and Chris Hendley. Bennett having made 3 fell to other opener Skull as the habitual early collapse began, this time it was Barton and Matt Linacre who followed the skipper back to the hutch Fenn striking twice. Gary Hibbard joined Hendley and the two put together something of a partnership before D Hargreaves removed Hendley caught behind with the score on 47. Steve Bennett added a quickfire 16 as Clowne briefly threatened but 3 quick wickets soon put an end to the revival. A cameo innings of 26 with a couple of big sixes from Mark Osborne took Clowne over the 100 mark before they were bowled out for 116. Top scorer was the excellent Hibbard whose 36 belied his long lay off from the game.
