A first defeat of the season for league leaders Wickford Cricket Club at the hands of their title rivals, Stanford 'C', means that the gap between the teams is now just 7 points with 7 games to play.  It seems certain that these teams will occupy the top 2 places come the end of the season, but who will emerge as champions? In this match there was another hat-trick for Chris Crooks plus 2 wins for Adrian Armstrong and 1 for Martin Winter with Chris and Martin taking the final doubles.  For Wickford, there were 2 wins for Dave Norris and 1 for Richard Gill.
