Jake Whickham (3-59) and Ian Belchamber (3-52) were the pick of the bowlers for Brentwood but in reply the batsman could not function and slid to 190 all out thanks to Ben Stephens and Jake Foley, who took three wickets a piece, with hosts opening bowler Whickham showing how the batsman should of done it hitting 55 in a last wicket partnership of 64 with Ian Belchamber in what was ultimately a losing cause.

Billy Gordon (80) and Jamie Sorrell (62) helped the visitors set Chingford 249 to win with Kulbir Gill (4-64) and Liam Lannen (4-63) doing the damage with the bowling. And thanks to Paul Walter's four wickets it looked likely the visitors would easily defend this total as Chingford slid to 137/8, but thanks to an unbroken stand of 113 between wicketkeeper Paul Sawyer (71no) and bowler Liam Lannen (34no), the hosts managed to record a remarkable two wicket victory.

Chelmsford 206/0 wkts
Chelmsford won by 10 wickets
