Shamley Green won the toss and decided to bat. Rock hard and uneven track allowed a huge advantage to the batsman with proper technique resulting in a fine partnership of 180 for Shamley between Kimmins (91) and Rumble (109). Phené were held together, just, by a defiant Harman (35 with 8 fours), McGahan (29) and Ham (18) after le Clercq had been knocked out by the second fierce bouncer of the first over and departed to A&E, where he spent the next 18 hours. An uneven draw was eked out.

Abinger won the toss and decided to bat. A tight bowling and fielding performance by the Phené put increasing pressure on Abinger Hammer, who were held together by a fine knock by Craggs of 41. He was well caught on the boundary by a running Simon Dean or might well have reached 50. Simon spearheaded the attack with 8 brilliant overs yielding only 11 runs and gathering him two wickets. Pat McGahan tidied up the tail with 3 for 5 off 4 overs, while Alex Dean opened his Phené bowling career with a wicket first ball, a wicket maiden, and final figures of 1 for 4. It cost his father a jug. Thanks to level headed openings and a solid contribution by Nick Lane, Phené reached the target just as a light drizzle forced everyone eagerly into the bar.

Phené won the toss and decided to bowl. The driest April for years created this hard track, and with the ball running away down the hill Shackleford got off to a flying start from the opening spells with the new ball. 65 by Gerrard and many supporting roles meant Phené toiled until tea with Shackleford on 241 for 8. Without some superb catching by Lane (2), Dean (1) and our loan player Hockley (3) this total would have been even more formidable. Phené were never in the chase and lost wickets regularly until the final and largest stand of 41 between Eade and Dean promised the chance of a draw. It was not to be, however, as with 3 balls remaining Eade committed hara-kiri having patiently defended so long for a top score of 24.

Phené won the toss and decided to bowl. Three jugs were bought in The Oak after the match by Sam Carter (86), Stuart Bachelor (58) and John Landais (5 for 65). A cracking good match in which the duel between Sam Carter and Simon Dean was almost surreal. In a poetic dismissal, a fierce slash by Sam was caught by John Landais at gully for 86 in the last over of Simon's 14-over uninterrupted opening spell. The first nine overs had gone for just 18 runs. Batting of the highest class and bowling to match. Phené, after a promising start, were 46 for 1, but slumped to 51 for 3, at which point the match seemed unwinnable. Stuart Bachelor would have none of it and struck a valiant 58 off 56 balls before madly attempting to score the required 31 runs for victory with four balls remaining. The odds were always stacked against him, the pavilion pundits felt. It was left to John Landais to calmly defend the final 3 balls meaning the SHAFT trophy was retained by the Philanderers. Taut stuff.

Island Bakeries won the toss and decided to bowl. An excellent opening stand of 156 by le Clercq (55) and Harman (73) allowed Phené to take the advantage in wet and skiddy conditions. When le Clercq was run out Bakeries had already conceded 28 of the eventual 32 extras. In reply a gritty 93 by Richards almost saw Bakeries to a win, but once he fell lbw to Dean in the 26th over, the final 52 required from the 9.3 overs with 5 wickets in hand proved too much of an ask for the Bakeries' young players.

Phené lost the toss and were asked to bat. We never looked likely to post a decent score, losing Harman to a magic ball from Thurley in the seventh over and despite Bachelor's gritty 52. However Peper Harow were made to work for the victory thanks to Jeremy McGahan's outstanding bowling.

The match was reduced to 30 overs owing to the lunchtime rain. Ebernoe batted first and lost a couple of early wickets, but sadly several Phené bowlers served up a series of full tosses which disappeared to all corners of the ground. The Phené openers scored slowly for the first ten overs, at which point the run rate required was around 9. In spite of some spirited boundary hitting from Snee and Ham, who scored his maiden Phené 50, we fell 44 short. It was a good game with no controversies, and The Stag lived up to its 5* rating.

Two of the Phené made guest appearances for Forest Green, and they did rather well: W Cunliffe 53, J McGahan 18 & 2-42. The Cunliffes played on opposite sides, and each took just one wicket; guess whose!
