Fairford edged home in the last over by the slender margin of two wickets in a dramatic finish to win a match they looked to have lost, their batting in depth however proving decisive.
Hosts Kings Stanley won the toss and batted on a pitch that as to get slower in pace and lacking bounce throughout the afternoon. They got off to a rapid start racing to 60 before change bowlers Moreing and Newport brought some control and reined back some free flowing batting. It was again to be the drinks break that saw wickets fall as Newport for the second week running returned a five wicket haul. The return of Bird and Messer ensured town wrapped up the innings which collapsed around Weavers 52 as the last 7 wickets fell for 29 runs, Fairford securing an extra two overs in which to bat, these where to prove invaluable.

In reply town also took off at apace, Townsend in fine form racing to 28 before holing out, this was to be the highest individual innings as towns top and middle order batted as if transfixed against an innocuous bowling attack. Although Gray dismissal was unfortunate in that he played on, towns early batters failed to impose themselves as G Clarke having compiled a patient 17, Newport, Greener and Bullock all will be disappointed to have perished and at 70-6 town where in deep trouble. Captain Leadbeater and Clarke at first steadied and rebuilt the innings Leadbeater working the bowling finding gaps at will, and Clarke more direct with one huge six and some strong hitting the pair added an invaluable 49. Town again looked out when both fell with 30 still required off only four overs which importantly included two extra overs. Moreing and Messer made light of the task, both cleanly striking the ball around and out of the ground to secure a win the town rarely looked like achieving earlier in their innings. Towns 19 point win maintaining the pressure on Apperley who they meet in two weeks time.
