One hundred and forty-seven was a total to bowl at, but on the night it proved just short of enough.
Simon Cowley and Taran Kiri made 27 apiece — Kiri unbeaten — with Abinandan Venkatraman chipping in 26, and Binfield's Midweek 2nd XI closed on 147 for eight.
Emmbrook and Bearwood, though, had two batters in the mood. Jake David (65) and Connor Simpson (55) put on the runs that mattered, and the visitors reached 149 for three to win by seven wickets.
There was enough here to build on, even in defeat. Onwards to the next.
