ROUND-UP: Ross is the boss as Ufford win, Rams also beat the rain
Opener Keymer batted throughout the Ufford innings, closing on 127 not out to set up an 89-run win over Saffron Walden seconds.
Ufford’s total of 212-4 always looked out of reach of their visitors, particularly when Tanvir Hussain (3-12) and Joe Corder (3-32) got to work. Victory was achieved just 15 minutes before the heavens opened.

Castor were among those rained off. Stuart Dockerill (4-17 from 8.1 overs) bowled well as Kimbolton were dismissed for 184, but rain stopped Castor’s reply from starting.
It was a similar story in Division One with only Ramsey and Saffron Walden firsts managing to complete victories.
