A third consecutive loss for Bowden’s first team has severely hampered chances of promotion. Now Bowden are 10 points clear of the relegation places.
Visiting league leaders Raunds won the toss and elected to bat. Sam Keenan used the conditions to his favour, and swung the ball,. Resulting in 5 wickets from 15 overs for 65 runs. He was supported well by Joe Whitworth who took 4 wickets for 52 and deserved better figures.
Despite Raunds' shaky start they managed a score of 154 all out in 34.1 overs.
After tea, Bowden looked to chase down the modest total. But a mixture of good bowling and poor batting meant that Bowden were all out for a meagre 79. Charlie Standley 17 and extras 17 the joint top contributors.
