Dafen Gained promotion to Division 3 after a nail biting last ball win against Skewen.

After being inserted in to bat opener Chris Randell wasted no time by hitting some beautiful cover drives as Dafen raced to 45-0 in 8 overs. Rob Jones & Carl Holding then fell in quick succession and soon after Chris Randell (41, 10 × 4s) leaving dafen 63-3 off 13 overs.

Skewen had no intention of chasing down the large total as the dafen bowlers struggled to take wickets at regular intervals. James Carpenter then took 2 quick wickets in the 34th over to give dafen hope of claiming a vital maximum points win. With 7 wickets down in the 48th over the game was heading out for a draw until Scott Phillips (2-24) took 2 wickets in the 49th over to leave dafen needing 1 wicket in the final over. Andrew Randell (4-28) bowled 5 decent balls and then with the final delivery of the game one just snuck through to bowl skewen out for 145 giving dafen a 110 run victory.
