They won the toss and decided to bat against an improved Frome bowling attack. The early batsmen found it difficult to score, losing their wickets regularly. Ultimately they could only set 59-5, with captain, Hugh Brooker, top-scoring. Andy Veal took 2-8 and Neil Dredge 1-9. In reply, Frome were able to bat patiently to secure the win, with 603, in exactly eight overs, despite some good fielding from Hinton. James Unwin retired on 25, having hit two sixes. In their first season, Frome adapted quickly to the indoor conditions, declaring they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
