Written by Caroline Carson
See the full article on the ECB website MATCH REPORT BY ABI CARTERBlackheath booked their place in the Super 8s semi-finals with a resounding win against Leeds & Broomfield on Sunday 14th August. The London club got revenge after suffering defeat at the hands of Leeds in the group stages.Leeds inserted Blackheath, but openers Sarah Berman and, in particular, Leanne Atkins set about laying a good foundation. Their opening partnership was worth 71, with Atkins regularly finding the boundary.

Abi Carter reports...The tightest game of this season (and one of the tightest in any other)…Blackheath faced the team relegated from Div 2 last year and came out winners by just four runs.Batting first, Blackheath struggled with Finchley’s opening bowlers and hobbled to 18-3.

The Club had its last match of the year - a table-topping showdown against St Lawrence and Highland Court - on Sunday 22nd August, with Blackheath needing to win by a biggish margin to overtake St Lawrence and win promotion.

Playing at the 5th new home ground of the season, which now might be our favourite - the…
