FRIDAY 16 JULY 2004
Eight Ash Green 133-8 bt Wivenhoe 98-5 by 35 runs

Batting first EAG scored freely reaching 50 in the 6th. over with Cheryl Pinch (25ret) and S Miller (14) leading the way. The Wivenhoe bowlers managed to peg the rate with the regular fall of wickets, however a stubborn knock from Patsy Maile (23), supported by Debbie Aylward (12) and a late blitz from Lyn Gunn (14) saw EAG to the high total of 133 off their 20 overs.

Undaunted by the high target the Wivenhoe openers Amy Finbow (25ret) and a swashbuckling Michelle Snow (25ret) supported by Paula McManus (15) caused some concern to an unusually subdued EAG attack. With the departure of McManus to a second spectacular catch by wicket keeper Miller and the introduction of Patsy Maile (3-1) and Karron Dredge (5-1), both off 2, to the EAG attack, the run chase faltered. Some hard hitting from Zoe Gould (12) came too late to affect the result which was much closer than the score suggested.

FRIDAY 2 JULY 2004
Colchester v Wivenhoe void rain
Maldon v Abberton, void abandoned after 8 overs - rain
Gt. Waltham 94-7 lost to E.A.G. 104-3 by 10 runs
he game started off with a rain shower, but soon folloed the toss in which Waltham chose to bowl. Pinch and Lee put Walthams openeing bolwlers under alot of pressure as it looked as if Pinch and Lee were there to stay. Finally a break through by Waltham came by Lee being bowled by Becky Wilde. But Eight Ash green still had alot in them and run a total of 104, by the help of excellent batting by Pinch and Dye. So Waltham needed 105, which we thought was a reachable target. Becky and darel looked good making a partnership of over 30, but there was soon a lapse of concentration and Darel was walking back to the changing rooms. Becky Wilde had a good spell and retired on 26, Olivia and Beck Clout began a good partnership running well between the wickets, but with overs running out Wakltham were under pressure to keep up the runs. They had 3 overs left needing 15 runs, so they had to go for it, consequently wickets fell and Waltham could not get the amount needed. It was a
very exciting and close match enjoyed by all.
Harwich 70-10 lost to Police 93-10 by 23 runs.

With Audrey Mitchel winning the toss she decided to put EAG into bat first and they started extremely strongly with the openers both retiring quickly.The first wicked wasn't taken till quite late on in the game with Ruth Smith bowling out the nuber 3 bat H Barnes though this was not enough to stop an excellent batting spell by the team with C Cunningham retiring and D Ayland securing EAG a very high total for Maldon to chase.
Maldon know they were up against a lot with 139 to chase and the accurate bowling by EAG made it increasingly hard for the Maldon openers. L Dye dismissed the no.2 bat J Eva and this was quickly followed by a good catch and bowl by bowler Pinch to make sure H. Scriviner couldn;t pose a threat.
