Vale were royally thrashed in this friendly encounter away to Lydd.

Having posted a respectable total of 162 thanks to contributions by Andy Hayes(29), Carl Brook(60) and Guy Wenham(28), Vale considered themselves in the game.

Sadly this was not the case as the Lydd openers were rampant with Unwin (102 not out) and Fletcher (49) plundering the runs required off a mere 16.3 overs.
