Davis plundered 85 runs from only 48 ball and this included 7 massive sixes. In the meantime Poole reached his maiden century for Haverhill and finished the innings with a mammoth six into the field behind the ground. Haverhill had reached 345-2 off their 40 overs.

With the game all but won, Callum Lewis, Carl Bradford ad Robert Sullivan helped themselves to 4 wickets between them. Earl Stonham were bowled out for 223.
