Scorecard

Canterbury Academy made it two wins from two on Thursday after calmly chasing down a low target against Shenfield.

The victory was set up by their bowlers who produced a ruthless showing to leave their opposition reeling at 49 all out after 15.3 overs.

Shenfield had early hope in the chase when Freddie Fulton picked out Max Toolan off George Gorsuch's bowling in the first over of the chase.

The early breakthrough didn't cause too much of a wobble however, with Freddie's brother, Harry Fulton, and Christian Roberts adding 29 for the second wicket to take Canterbury within 15 of their target.

The former would fall for 10, but Roberts (22), alongside Max Wood (10*) ensured their side would ease home with 28 balls to spare.

Ollie Jordan-Smith followed up an excellent effort in the day's first fixture (1 for 2 from three overs) with 2 for 10 here, including one maiden out of his four overs.

Callum Berry - off the back of an impressive innings just an hour or so earlier - looked in good touch again for Shenfield, hitting a couple of fours, including a classy straight drive, before falling to the the left-arm turn of Jaydn Denly.

Josh Kirkby picked up a brace of fours of his own before being caught by Max Wood off the bowling of Fergie Conway.

From there it was a struggle for Shenfield as they failed to find the boundary again, ultimately finding themselves bowled out for 49 in 78 balls.

Conway finished with excellent figures of 3 for 9 from his 20 deliveries and Josh Julian chipped in with 2 for 1 from eight balls.

The low-scoring affair leaves Canterbury with a 100 per cent record and sitting top of the table after day one at Desert Springs.
