The 2019 season started in fine form for the Wash, as Max Murrain took 5/23 in helping to restrict Valley End to 51 all out, bowling the Wash to victory.
On a sticky pitch runs were hard to come by, however, Shyam and Clint dug in for 25 and 22 respectively, whilst Mike Egan's 15 and newcomer Grant Dixon's 14 helped boost the Wash to 106 all out.
In reply, Valley End were in trouble early as Max took a wicket with his first ball. He got plenty of help from the surface but bowled tremendously well to tie up the opposition, whilst Keith Williams took 2/5 and Marshy and Russ both chipped in with a catch each.
A professional performance in the field, if not with the bat, saw the Wash home by a margin of 55 runs.
