With only pride to play for BMCC went after the Swindon Bowling from ball 1. The ball thundered to the boundary at regular intervals, but wickets also fell at regular intervals.
All the home batsmen got starts but were unable to build on this except for youngster Joe Veacock. Fresh from a recent ton he looked set for another big score until a loose shot saw him depart for 40.
BMCC were all out for a disappointing 187 where 230 looked like a par score. Mildenhall with 6/66 was the pick of the Swindon bowlers.
The home side took the unusual step of opening up with two spinners and the ploy paid dividends as the Swindon innings followed a similar pattern to that of the home side.
Courtney Earl ripped through the top order as his 12 overs produced 6/21 with only Giddings (25) putting up any resistance. Earl was backed up by the other bowlers and all the fielders as Swindon were dismissed for 82 inside 28 overs. Thanks to match sponsor Autotech.
