Another solid bowling performance, with good variations in pace and two possible hatricks going begging from Long and Atkin (Emmins sinfully dropping a nick off Long, although a gracious pint did make up for it), plus a lack of batting tactics from London Fields, allowed Pacific to begin a chase of 97 to win.

So 97 to get, no problem. Although after a slow start things did look rather interesting as 9 an over was on the cards after only 5 overs. However, Blench's pacemaker allowed him to kick-start and up the ante to nudge his way to 26*, especially when the ever-reliable Long came to the crease and drove his way to 37*.

Thankfully this was a game that Pacific just got over the finishing line for, but the bowling (forgetting the small matter of 25 extras- 10 more than usual) was a marked improvement on previous matches. If the previous batting and the current bowling can be combined then surely Pacific can realise their potential.

Next stop Darji...
