The first wicket fell in the 5th over with the score at 31 when Phil Shannon was bowled by Tim Croft for 10 runs. Bailey went on to make 40 including 3 sixes and 2 fours] before nicking a catch to the keeper off the bowling of James O`Brien who bowled extremely well taking 3-16 from 6 overs.

James carried over his good form from his previous match where he took an excellent 6 wicket haul over the Golf Club.

Craig Pickham also batted well for Tavern making 28 and along with Neale Smith [21] almost got Tavern home falling just 11 runs short of the total being 8 for 137 after 30 overs.

Once again The Services and Golf Club failed to submit score books to the Tavern at the completion of play so no results are available from that match.
