Bridge won by four wickets with seven balls to spare as they successfully chased a total of 166 for 8.

Rob Cuthbertson (3 for 29) and Steve Fieldsden (2 for 22) both bowled well for Stamford Bridge who made a positive start to their reply.

Steve Fieldsden (38) and Andy Parkinson, who went on to make 73, put on 89 for the first wicket and Bridge looked to be well on course for victory.
