Cleveland 160 St. David's 64 While Flatts were winning, Eastern Counties champions St. David's faltered badly when they were embarrassed by a 10-man Cleveland team at Lord's, losing by 128 runs.

The 64 posted by the home side represented by far their worst batting effort of the season, player-coach Clay Smith being their lone player in double figures with 19.

Doing the bowling damage for Cleveland were veteran spinners Grant Smith, who has done more umpiring than playing this season, and Johnny Richardson. Smith finished with four for 31 off seven overs while Richardson returned stunning figures of three for five off three overs.
