Match Report

Crusaders piled on the runs at Lenham, amassing 234 from only 36 overs, but Lenham made no effort to chase, with the game drifting to a tame draw.
Chand and Slapdash (36) savaged the opening bowlers in a partnership of 79 from just ten overs. Sumo (47) continued the onslaught adding a further 91 with Chand, who was finally out for a fine 82.
Lenham were intent purely on survival and despite good bowling we lacked the penetration to force victory.
