From there Horley fought back with a superb long haul bowling performance from Tom Livermore finishing with figures of 19 overs, four maidens, five wickets for 74 runs. 
He was amply supported by Rob Rigby who took two wickets to restrict Roehampton to 212 from their 50 overs.

Waddington was out just before drinks and more wickets fell just after.
