The 5th XI had to defend 129 after Chesham kept chipping away with the ball. Vikram Duraiswamy gave Binfield the innings' main push with 34, while Rupert Warren's 19 and Charlie Miles' 18 helped nudge the total into three figures.
Chesham's reply was not a free ride. Matthew Potter struck and held two catches, Phebe Salter returned a tidy 1-15 from 6 overs, and Warren followed his runs with 1-5 from 2.1 overs. There was resistance right through the card.
The public scorecard gives this one a useful player thread: Warren contributed on both sides of the game, Potter was involved in three dismissals including his own wicket, and Salter's Saturday spell was a neat prelude to a much louder Sunday.
