Lyn Richards and Stefan Jenkins did the early damage and the visitors were unable to recover after being reduced to 17-4. There was a partial recovery in a fifth wicket stand of 29 between David Davies who scored 24 before being well caught by Neilson Cole behind the stumps off the bowling of Richard Harris and Phil Kirkby with 15 but it was not enough to stage a permanent recovery as after Richards had taken 2-29 and Jenkins 2-16 the change bowlers were also on top of the Town batsmen.
