Abergavenny skipper Joe Harris won the toss and put Dafen in to bat, they lost a wicket in the 7th over when David Clarke claimed his 25th wicket of the season 30-1 but this only  galvanised Dafen who pushed on to 90-1 from 17 overs, thankfully they eased up and at drinks were 101-4 with two wickets for Ryan Avery and one for Lewys Wilkes-McCarthy. They never really recovered their earlier fluency and  Dan Skipwith with three catches, one a most spectacular boundary catch along with good bowling in the latter part of the innings saw Dafen bowled out for 196. Ryan Avery 4-35, young Lloyd Sharp 2-31, David Clarke 2-31 and One wicket each for Owen Harris and Lewys Wilkes-McCarthy.

Sudbrook were inserted and bowled out for 156 in the 40th over. James Hrastelj and Leo Ling with two wickets each a wicket each for Nathan Byrne and Matthew Knight, but once again veteran Steve Brown was the pick of the bowlers with a great spell of 3.5 over’s - 3 wickets for 6 runs, taking his season’s tally to 23 wickets, the leading wicket taker for the 2nd X1.

Abergavenny were cruising at 80-2 with the front three all contributing Will Eccles (13) Ed Woolcott (22) Ellis Jones (18) but Olly jones fresh from his First X1 debut last week batted well for (39) and Nathan Holley (33*) were the top scorers seeing the League leaders home by 5 wickets in just 27 overs they have a 24 point lead at the top of Division 6 with four games remaining.
