In the rain at Ricketts Field, Cookham Dean tried their best to throw away their promotion chances but were ultimately saved by the weather, meaning that 7 points was enough to take them up after Slough 3s shock defeat at Bagshot.

Pres Patel won the toss and elected to bat but Cookham's batsmen struggled throughout and rain delays saw the game reduced to a 70 over game. Cookham made 124-9 from their 37 overs with Imran Butt (33) and Paul Farnborough (28) the main contributors.

Cookham made early breakthroughs but Hayes batted well and were looking poised for victory at 103-3 when the heavens opened and the umpires led the players off the pitch.
