Ones finish 4th and Twos escape drop
posted by Hutch Sun 06th September 2009
Raza Ali had a great day taking 5-46 as Glynde were dismissed for 211, he then hit an unbeaten 139
with Bradley Hatchett making 54 in the 9 wicket victory.
The second XI avoided relegation despite finishing second from bottom. (Middleton 1st XI are relegated from Division 2 back to Division 3 West, Middleton 2nd XI have to follow their 1st XI from Division 2 2nd XI into Division 3 West 2nd XI, so only one club is promoted from Division 2 2nd XI, hence only one club is relegated from Division 1 2nd XI.)

The second XI are relegated after defeat to Horsham.
The fourth XI cruised to victory and safety with a 9 wicket victory over fellow strugglers Roffey
