Wickford kept their 100 per cent record at the top of Division One when they won their sixth successive match.

The latest victims of Wickford's seemingly unstoppable march to a second successive promotion were one of their closest challengers, Brentwood.

A real battle of the giants is on the cards next weekend when Wickford play host to a Hornchurch side who are now second following their fourth success of the campaign -- a huge drubbing of Orsett.

When Brentwood batted they found the Wickford fielders particularly fleet of arm and there were four run outs.

Jamie Went was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2-25 in 10 overs.

When Wickford replied, skipper Matthew Bate led by example and finished with an unbeaten 90 as the top dogs, who lead the table by 30 points, finished with 205-4 in 37 overs.
