Match report In a clash between Oakfield Parkonians 3rd XI and Hornchurch 3rd XI, Hornchurch won the toss and elected to bowl first. Despite the pitch being in good condition, the windy and overcast weather posed a significant challenge for both teams.

The Parks innings got off to the worst possible start, with the score at a precarious 25-4. The innings was somewhat stabilised when captain Fazan Habib and vice-captain Nikhith were at the crease together, both got starts but were unable to go on and convert them into meaningful scores. The lower order contributed well, with top scorer Janeban (32) the pick of the batsmen, batting with positive intent while Praven also added a valuable 28 runs. These contributions helped Parkonians reach a total of 189, at least 30-35 runs short of a par score.

In response, Hornchurch commenced their chase aggressively. Although Parks managed to pick up some wickets making the contest intriguing, their fielding and catching let them down, with six catches going down in the field. This proved to be a significant factor in the match's outcome.

Eventually, Hornchurch overcame the challenge comfortably, winning the game by 6 wickets. The match highlighted the importance of maintaining discipline in catching and fielding, reiterating that these aspects can indeed be game-changers in tight contests. Despite the loss, Parkonians showed glimpses of their potential, providing promising signs for future games.
