Nomads scrape home 

Some good bowling and two run outs reduced Hurst to a final score of of just 123 with 4 overs to go. Opener Wearing top scored with fifty. Gregory and Mathews took three wickets apiece.

Having reached 27 without loss Nomads wickets fell steadily though Taylorson,Jeavons and Kabir scored twenties. However when Peter Mathews joined the skipper eight runs were still required to win and these they got. Another example of the skipper batting himself too low. an exciting win nonetheless!
