COBHAM Avorians had a great week winning the first of the Twenty20 games against Old Emanuel and going joint top of the Surrey Championship Premier Division table with Sutton following the win on Saturday against Weybridge.
The A's fielded an under strength team following three injuries to first team players in last week's game with Banstead.
Winning the toss and batting first they got off to a slow start with only Durrandt troubling the scorers to make 58, and with four wickets down looked way behind on the scoring rate.
However, Scott Jarvis and David Umpleby came to the crease and soon had control of the Weybridge bowlers.
Jarvis was peppering the boundary and made a very fast 64, Umpleby returning to the side following a stint in Australia had a welcome come back with a rapid 69.
The two players steered the A's to a respectable 267-7 in the 50 overs.
In reply Weybridge could not get on top of the Avorian bowlers, skipper Steve Naylor kept the scoring down at one end with Scott Jarvis bowling a good length at the other it was not long before the wickets started to fall and Weybridge struggled to 129 all out in 33.5 overs.
