Harold Wood 182-3
West Essex 177-a/o
(Division Three)

THE Rolls Park boys were unable to build on last week's win as they crashed to a heavy seven-wicket defeat at table topping Harold Wood.

The visitors opened the batting and crashed to 177 all out after struggling to cope on a damp track and against the twin attack of Kevin Gibson and Shahzad Hafeez, who picked up the majority of the wickets. Only Irfan Riaz with a well crafted 54 did anything of real note with the willow.

The hosts never looked in trouble of chasing down that total and thanks to a stupendous 116 not out from prolific run scorer Srinivas Mangalapally, they swept to a convincing win.
