4th placed Kenilworth had to settle for a losing draw at League leaders, Highway, in a high scoring and entertaining encounter. Highway were invited to bat first and took full advantage as they amassed 275-7 in their 50 overs mainly thanks to a partnership of 158 for the 2nd wicket between Dave Thornton who made 87 from just 74 balls and Jamie Marsh 79. Once they both fell, it was left to Steve Vaughan who made 46 from 39 balls before he was superbly run out by Tom Lawrence attempting a second run to take Highway to their final total. For Town, Gregg Peebles toiled hard to be rewarded with 3-66, Geoff Edmunds 2-82 and 1-65 from Mitch Lowe. In reply, Kenilworth slumped to 18-2 before an 88 run partnership between Richard Collinson who made his best 1st X1 score with 42 and Lee Melvile 46 left the game finally poised. Once they both fell, 120-4 quickly became 144-6 with 132 needed off 19 overs for victory. However, a 7th wicket stand of 99 in just 89 balls between Tom Lawrence 33 and the returning Adrian Sellar a rapid 66 not out from 62 balls took Kenilworth to the verge of victory but the overs ran out as the Town settle on 253-8. For Highway, Steve Vaughan 2-58 Jamie Marsh 2-63 and Adrian Butler 2-55. Highway 17 points Kenilworth 11 points

With both sides missing key players, Kenilworth had to settle for a losing draw at Fillongley. The Town won the toss and invited Fillongley to bat first and this appeared to be a good decision as Fillongley slumped to 67-5 but a partnership of 94 in 98 balls from Andrew Carty who made 45 from 64 balls and a quick fire 58 from 67 balls from Tom Barber with 7 x 4s and 3 x 6s lifted them to a final total of 209 all out from 48.5 overs. For Town, wily left arm spinner, Geoff Edmunds, snapped up 4-40, whilst paceman, Gregg Peebles, took 3-45, Matt Bolshaw 2-53 and Dave Edmunds 1-25. This left Kenilworth with 51 overs to reach their victory target as they got off to a rapid start with 50 in first 10 overs. However, once Dave Edmunds was out for a run a ball 41, the only other partnership of significance was 79 runs for the 5 wicket between Mark Deeley who made 46 and Peebles who completed a fine all round game to take the man of the match honours with 51 as no other batsmen made starts and the innings closed on 180-7. For Fillongley, Dave Slade led the attack 4-57 , Simon Blackmore 2-43 and Tom Nightingale 1-35. Fillongley 17 points Kenilworth 11 points.

Kenilworth enjoyed their 3rd successive winning draw with a 17 point haul at Premier Division newcomers, Streetly. The Town side had no hesitation in making first use of a good looking Briar Avenue track with some extremely small boundaries but soon slumped to 40-4. However, good contributions from the middle order - Lee Melville with 55, Gregg Peebles 59, Mitch Lowe 42 and 35 from keeper Mike Watts took the final total to 249-8 from 50 overs. Streetly's Javid Tariq took 3-64, new signing Deepak Chabra 2-47, Crutchley 2-52 and Matt Bates 2-4. In reply, Streetly were soon in trouble at 67-5 but an 87 run 6th wicket partnership between skipper Russ Guy, who top scored with 60, before he was bowled by Pete Alty and Sam Bates who was unbeaten on 56 - his maiden league 50 - gave Streetly an outside chance of victory but despite some late hitting from Oliver Crutchley who made 36 from just 23 balls Streetly were left to settle for 12 point haul on 206-8 when the overs ran out. Peebles and colt Matt Bolshaw each took 2-38 whilst stalwart Geoff Edmunds claimed 2-15, Alty 1-61 and Mitch Lowe 1-12 for the Town.

The Town 1's claimed their 2nd winning draw of the Bank Holiday with a 17 point haul at home to Solihull Blossomfield. Kenilworth were asked to bat first and made 216-8 from their 50 overs. Several batsmen made starts but only Mitch Lowe 34 from 29 balls and 53 from Man of the Match, Charlie Leonard, in 72 balls were only batsmen to pass 20.

In reply, Blossomfield's chance of any upset were dashed when they were reduced from 133-3 to 138-5 and then lost a further 3 quick wickets in mid order after a fine spell of bowling from James Nason who took 3-26 as the visitors ended on 179-8 after Bashir had made 46 and Edmond 32. The other successful Town bowlers were Edmunds with 2-14 and one a piece for Gregg Peebles, Leonard and colt Matt Bolshaw who took a fine caught and bowled to remove the Bloss opener.

The Town 1's had to settle for a frustrating winning draw at Atherstone after rain forced an abandonment that prevented an exciting finish as Kenilworth required just 9 runs for victory and Atherstone 3 wickets. Play got underway at 2.30pm with match reduced to 41 overs, Town skipper, Geoff Edmunds, had no hesitation in asking Atherstone to bat first but other than Mike Pickering 28 and Colin Griggs 27 nobody else passed 20 as Atherstone were dismissed for 115 in 37.3 overs - leaving the Town 44 overs to achieve their target. Geoff Edmunds led the attack with 4-22, Pete Alty 3-33, Mitch Lowe 2-36 and Gregg Peebles 1-22. In reply, Kenilworth look well placed for victory at 70-3 thanks to a 3rd wicket stand of 60 between Mark Deeley who made 34 and Adrian Sellar who continued his recent good form with 36. A few more wickets tumbled but Mike Watts and Geoff Edmunds steadied the ship at 90-7 and they reached 107-7 and were well on course for victory when a second rain interruption caused the match to be abandoned. For Atherstone, Matt Pickering led the attack with 3-28, Bhavesh Parmar 2-10 and Neil Cowdrey 1-15. Kenilworth 14 points, Atherstone 7 - a good haul considering the weather.
