Airmen hang on for draw
Nomads innings began well with Weeks hitting sixty and his partner Beart 40. Then the innings fell away before a substantial seventh wicket stand took the innings beyond 200 finishing on 244-8 declared. Apparently Audrey Hepburn was born in Belgium on this day. Sadly she never showed any interest whatsoever in cricket.Result: Match drawn
