NOMADS CC 131(Walter Evans 54,John Gold 5) drew with RMA SANDHURST 36-3 match abandoned due to rain

Evans and Gold save Nomads blushes

Poor communication resulted in two nomads being present at the start of the match. As a result Walter Evans and John Gold (a professional number 11) opened the innings and against all odds laste until lunchtime whereupon Nomads skipper arriving in time for lunch exclaimed” My word this is taking pre-match practice seriously”. Despite the solid start Nomads could only post 131.

In reply Sandhurst lost two wickets in the first over and had reached 36-3 before the rain came and the match was abandoned.
