Horndon on the Hill Won 8 wickets
Horndon skipper Jason Plom won the toss and inserted West Essex at Horndon recreation ground on Saturday.
Opening bowlers Osborne and Mendes kept it tight but did not break through the West Essex openers. This was left to Steve Salzwedel who took a wicket with his 1st delivery removing M Patel for 6. I Riaz (30) was the top scorer for West Essex and it was not long before the borough sides' bowlers ripped through the middle order. Only A Zain with 23 offered any resistance before falling to an outstanding catch in the gulley from skipper Jason Plom. The tremendous reaction catch cemented Horndon's dominance.Horndon's bowlers removed West Essex for 103 with Goldstone 3 for 15 off 7 and Khartade 2 for 8 off 5.
Horndon batsman Khartade (53 n.o.) and Bip Keeping (21) made light of the small target to leave Horndon 14 points clear at the top.
Skipper Plom said " with West Essex in the top three before the game this looked a big test for us. Our performance today was the best so far this year, I think we have real quality in depth this year and this shows when 15 year old Danny Joyce kept wicket for us today, he took 2 stumpings and no byes were against his keeping. We have a tough game next week away to Basildon which we are really looking forward to".
