But it was not to be, and the game ended in fading light and in spitting rain with Shenley falling short by 13 runs. However, their endeavour earned them maximum bowling and batting bonus points, leaving them in upper mid-table.
Shenley continue their campaign on Saturday, with a trip to Chipperfield Clarendon (1.30pm start).
