The Crows made up for falling away in the league by romping to a 66-run win over Division One counterparts Ringmer on a hot afternoon at Glynde.

Losing the toss, skipper Paul Brookes was a little bemused by Ringmer's decision to field first on what appeared to be an outstanding batting pitch. Brookes (36) and Martin Barry (23) got the innings off to a rapid start but it was the performance of Michael Legg that really saw them take the upper hand as he smashed six sixes and three fours in a knock of 58.

Victor Walcott (35) piled on the runs as Park were dismissed for 201.

Park got off to a flyer in the field as Keith Hobbs (3-21) and Legg (2-44) reduced the holders to 16-3.

Ringmer never really recovered and were shot out for 135. Brookes (2-23) and Graham Corke (2-22) were the other wicket takers.
