Fifties from Patrick Yates (70) and Ashley Alderson (53) had the hosts in a good position at 106/1 but then collapsed to 120/5 and although they managed to put on 73 for the sixth wicket, they lost four wickets for thirty runs attempting to reach the 230 target and fell agonisingly short to lose by two runs, with Jon Hammond taking 4-53.
Horndon On The Hill 168 all out
Old Southendian & Southchurch 144 all out
Horndon On The Hill won by 24 runs
Hosts Horndon will have to solely thank middle order batsman and skipper Jeff West for posting any sort of target, after he hit 105 in his sides 168 all out in 39 overs. However this looked likely to still not be enough runs to win but the hosts bowlers had other ideas and exploited the visitors batting line up, and helped by Jack Marson's 3-22 they bowled out Old Southendians for just 144 in 48.1 overs and take a 24 run victory.
Oakfield Parkonians 262/8 wkts
Leigh On Sea 205 all out

However the visitors could not get going in reply and were eventually bowled out for 205 in 46.1 overs to lose by 57 runs.
Wickford 87 all out
Belhus 89/2 wkts
Belhus won by 8 wickets
Belhus bowler Daniel Dreher took a magnificent 5-28 off his ten overs as his side bowled out Wickford for a miserable 87 in 35.3 overs. It was no surprise therefore that the visitors cruised to their target with almost thirty overs to spare thanks to Joe Joyce's 51 not out to win by eight wickets.

Epping 106 all out
Stanford Le Hope 229 all out
Stanford Le Hope won by 123 runs
Fifties from visiting openers Martin Leslie (72) and Michael Gray (55) gave them a platform to build a large total, however they lost their way somewhat and had to rely on Jack Carter's 52 in the middle order to get them up to 229, with Javed Iqbal taking 3-34. However the hosts didn't get anywhere near the 230 target as Jack Carter completed a wonderful all round display taking 5-22 in ten overs in helping his side rout Epping for just 106 and take a 123 run victory.

Woodford Green 225/8 wkts
Old Brentwoods won by 1 wicket

Ardleigh Green won by 2 runs
Visitors Ardleigh Green saw their batting line up fail as they were bowled out for just 111 in 34.5 overs with Yasir Ghayas taking 3-9.

Westcliff opener Charlie Lockhart hit 102 and was ably supported by Matt Renvoize who hit 59 off 61 deliveries, as the hosts posted 227, this after they were 198/2, but then lost their last eight wickets for just 29 runs with Paul Frensham (4-33) and Gareth Steed (3-39) doing the damage with the ball. But despite a decent innings of 56 from skipper Gavin Blowes, the visitors were dismissed for just 131 with the pick of the bowlers being Alex Hatton (3-29) and Tom Baker (3-41) seeing the home side to a 96 run win.
