at Cowdray Park 9th September 2001
Won by 5 wickets.
The bowling was opened by father and son debutants, John and Dave Walker. The latter took a wicket with his first ball and another in the same over, eventually finishing with 3-9, while John Walker took 2-22. Richard Chibisa (2-9), Graham Sherwood (1-12) and Edward Jones (2-18) maintained the pressure on a tricky pitch.
When Ramblers batted they were soon 3-2 in the second over and looking in deep trouble. However, Ed Katzler (23) played sensibly and Chibisa (46*) completed a fine performance by smashing 7 fours and a six in rapid time.
