Premier Division
Brentwood 26/0 wkt
Chingford 150/8 wkts
Match Abandoned
Visitors Chingford batted first and struggled to 150/8 off 41 overs before their innings was ended early after rain had halted proceedings for over two hours earlier in their innings, with Max Osbourne taking 3-25 for the hosts. Brentwood were set 154 to win from 41 overs but they only received five of these and were 26 without loss when the rain returned and abandoned the contest.
Chelmsford 64/3 wkts
Hornchurch 74 all out
Match Abandoned
Hosts Chelmsford saw opening bowler Anthony Hill take 5-16 as they rolled league leaders Hornchurch over for just 74 inside 30 overs and in reply were crusing to their victory target of 75, reaching 64/3 after just nine overs, until they were cruelly denied victory by the weather and saw the match abandoned.
Ilford
Colchester and East Essex 52/0 wkt
Match Abandoned
Only 16.3 overs were possible at Valentines Park, Ilford as visitors Colchester & East Essex reached 52/0 when the rain came and ended up abandoning the contest.
South Woodford 150 all out
Shenfield 113/8 wkts
South Woodford won by 25 runs (D/L Method)
Hosts South Woodford batted first and saw their innings interrupted after 27 overs meaning the game was reduced to 43 overs a side. Tom Austin took 4-40 for the visitors as they bowled out their opponents for 150, with James Kilber also chipping in with 3-29. More rain meant Shenfield's target was 138 from 29 overs and they fell 25 runs short of this largely thanks to the hosts opening bowlers Harry Shirt (5-37) and Garry Neicho (3-30) who between them reduced the visitors to 67/8 and make sure their side eventually ran out winners.
Wanstead & Snaresbrook 78/1 wkt
Buckhurst Hill 70/7 wkts
Wanstead & Snaresbrook won by 9 wickets (D/L Method)
Visitors Buckhurst Hill struggled in bowler friendly conditions and after their innings was interrupted for a second time due to rain they ended on 70/7 off 31.3 overs with Adnan Akram taking 4-24.

Loughton batted first after the match was reduced to 25 overs a side after a late start due to a wet patch on the square and made 157/7 thanks to Nishad Gabhawala's 55 not out off 54 balls. David Hinnigan then hit 52 not out off 50 balls as the hosts reply was going along nicely at 95/2 off 15 overs, but sadly the rain came and ended the contest meaning it was abandoned.

In reply Woodford reached 118/2 off 20.1 overs with Michael Arblaster erm blasting (sorry!!!) 60 not out from just 48 deliveries, but rain and thunder/lightning came and ended the contest early with the hosts an agonising ten runs adrift of the D/L par score at that stage, meaning the visitors ran out 10 run winners on Duckworth Lewis.

Oakfield Parkonians 73/1 wkt
Gidea Park & Romford 220/9 wkts

West Essex 140 all out
Benfleet won by 4 wickets (D/L Method)
Charlie Huntley took 3-24 as his side bowled out visitors West Essex for 140 in 46.4 overs and then a rain delay meant Benfleet required 138 from 49 overs. Despite Zohair Jan taking 4-22 in ten overs the hosts got to their target with five overs left thanks largely to skipper Gavin Blowes, who hit 73 not out to see his side to victory.
Old Brentwoods
Westcliff-On-Sea 129/7 wkts

Visitors Westcliff struggled to 129/7 off 36.5 overs in an innings that had already been twice interrupted by rain, before a deluge finally ended the contest and saw the match abandoned.

Woodford Green 152 all out
Stanford Le Hope 89 all out
Woodford Green won by 63 runs
The hosts batted first but despite Hussnain Kazmi hitting 78, he wasn't backed up by any other batsmen as his side slid to 152 all out, with Shehan Perera taking 6-29 for the visitors and Greg Barr 3-24. However this total proved more than enough as Amrit Ryatt (4-18) and Hussnain Kazmi (3-20) helped destroy the Stanford batting line up as they were dismissed for just 89 meaning the hosts won by 63 runs.
