A brilliant unbeaten century from captain Kiran Kullar was not enough to give Upminster victory as they drew their Division 1 clash with Old Southendian at Garon Park.  Southendians won the toss and chose to bat first, and they had a centurion of their own, and it was their skipper and opener in the runs as well as Max Craddock made 118 to put his side in a commanding position.  Craddock and Clark (72) took their side to 216-1 at one stage, before Gus Philpott removed Clark and Ollie Burley dismissed Craddock to bring Upminster back into the game.  Nehal Butt then ran through the Southendians middle order with excellent figures of 5-75 but 54 not out from Ahsan Yousaf meant the home side closed on 305-8.  Kullar and Mo Ahmad got the Upminster reply off to a solid start but Ahmad and then Ian Russell were dismissed to leave them 78-2.  With the run rate required above seven an over Adam Wheater immediately upped the ante and found the boundary regularly.  Kullar passed 50 and began to look in fine form as he and Wheater started to put Upminster on top.  Wheater had reached 81 from 52 balls and the stand was at 127 when Yousaf sent back the former Essex wicket keeper.  Two further wickets followed quickly after and with the run rate at more than ten an over Upminster saw out the last few overs.  That didn't stop Kullar bringing up three figures though and the captain ended on 116 not as Upminster closed on 262-5.  Upminster remain fourth in the Division 1 table.

The 2nd XI picked up a crucial win as they beat Billericay at Upminster Park.  Star of the show for the home side was Ollie Peck who claimed 6-39 to run through the Ricay middle order and put his side on top.  The visitors had earlier reached 75-2 with captain Stuart Hynes top scoring with 48.  John Curtis picked up the wicket of Hynes and ended with 2-24 while Jamie Green claimed a wicket on his return to league action as Ricay closed on 153-9.  Mit Shah continued his excellent season with 40 at the top of the Upminster order, but three wickets for Cameron Banks meant the game was in the balance as the home side fell to 69-3.  Callum Berry and Gus Siggins ensured there were no further alarms though with an excellent fourth wicket stand.  Berry hit seven fours and two maximums on his way to an unbeaten 53 from just 36 balls while Siggins batted nicely for 36 not out as Upminster cruised home by seven wickets with plenty of time to spare.

The 3rd XI stayed in the title race with an excellent win in the derby at Hornchurch.  Upminster won the toss and decided to bowl first and Mark D'Cruz picked up an early wicket for his side.  George Clark made 36 for the home team, but D'Cruz and Andrew Berry bowled superbly together, picking up three wickets each to put their side on top.  Tom
Young also picked up two wickets but late runs from youngster Lewis Imray boosted the home side's total to 173.  Ethan Berry made 20 at the top of the Upminster order and Steve Limn and Rob Mack then compiled an excellent third wicket stand to put their side on top.  Limn was watchful at first before moving through the gears while Mack continued his excellent season.  Both men reached their half centuries and looked set to take their side to victory before Mack fell to Imray for 62.  Limn saw it through to the end, finishing on 64 not out as Upminster won by eight wickets.

There was a heavy loss for the 4th XI as they were beaten by Billericay 3s at Coopers.  Captain Matt Ingleson continued to lead by example with an excellent innings of 58 at the top of the Upminster order.  The next four batters all made double figures to keep Upminster moving towards a good score before Avanish Ajmani upped the pace of the innings with 50 from 47 balls as he looked to put his side on top.  However, Jack Granby claimed five wickets for Billericay as Upminster fell from 200-4 to 216 all out.  That total still looked like it may be a challenging score, and at 73-2 the game was still in the balance, but Liam O'Connor and Anay Patel soon changed that.  Patel made 76 not out and O'Connor 86 not out as the visitors raced to an eight wicket win with nearly 17 overs to spare.

An extraordinary game at Orsett and Thurrock saw the 5th XI chase down a huge total to claim a famous win.  When Aedan Daly struck for Upminster in the first over of the game there was little sign of what was about to happen.  Jack Aldwinckle-Day, Kyle Robinson and Matthew McCarthur all made contributions for Orsett but it was when McCarthur was dismissed that the game really changed.  That wicket brought Kugan Ramasethu to the crease and he looked to move the game along from the start of his innings. In just over an hour he struck five fours and SIXTEEN maximums as he piled up 127 not out from just 37 balls!!  That innings helped Orsett pile up 294-5 from 40 overs, with Daly claiming 2-56 amongst the carnage while captain Aalok Latey picked up 2-43.  Stewart Hammond (40) and Stan Moore took Upminster to 82-1 in good time but they then fell to 104-4 as things swung back the way of the home side.  Moore remained though and made an excellent 68 before Adam Overton really brought Upminster into the game as he crashed 54 from 25 deliveries to give his side hope.  However, at 182-7 Upminster were very much up against it with just three wickets remaining and the run rate required still at around eight an over.  Daly and Ryan Brown continued the fight though and very quickly managed to bring the target and run rate required down as Upminster sensed a famous victory.  Daly reached his half century as the finish line came into view and he ended on a brilliant 60 not out, while Brown ended on an unbeaten 39 as Upminster won a brilliant game by three wickets with nearly five overs to spare!!

The 6th XI picked up their best result of the season as they overcame promotion chasing Writtle at Campion.  Writtle made a steady start to their innings but having looked like they were in a strong position then slid to 101-5.  Aadit Latey continued his excellent season with three wickets while Harry Bradford and Chris Brabin picked up two apiece as the visitors eventually ended on 182-8.  Upminster lost a wicket to the first ball of their reply, but Latey and George Sheridan steadied the ship with a stand of 52.  Thomas Brabin then made 27 as Upminster reached 89-3 in the 21st over.  Will Court then joined Sheridan and their partnership put Upminster firmly in the driving seat.  They steadily took charge of the chase and Sheridan eventually ended unbeaten on 69 and Court not out on 47 as Upminster won by seven wickets with nearly six overs to spare.  

There was no such joy for the 7th XI who fell to what could be a costly defeat against bottom of the table Rayleigh.  Max Gordon (28) and Paul Burley (30) batted well to put Upminster into a promising position, but despite several other double figure contributions they kept losing wickets at important times as Rayleigh took control.  Sanjay Narbheram added 20 not out at the end of the Upminster innings, but their total of 159 all out always looked a few under par.  Duncan Baldwin and Terry Martin got the Rayleigh reply off to a strong start before Archie Lowe removed Baldwin and then picked up another wicket shortly after to give Upminster hope.  Martin remained though and took control of the chase, and he received good support from Ollie Barker.  Upminster's young attack stuck to their task well, but with Martin making an unbeaten 81 and Barker ending on 36 not out it was Rayleigh who claimed a win by eight wickets.
