The Gents took their revenge for our victory over them last September by recording a victory over Nomads by about 40 runs at Joseph Hood on Sunday the 12th. We did pretty well to restrict them to 160 or so after they looked on course for a big score at one stage. In the second innings Nomads started poorly again and didn't bat too well in truth, but we retained some chance until Zia was given out unluckily LBW for 60-odd. Yes, I was the guilty umpire, and that is something that has been said quite a few times over the years, but almost always by the opposition. We finished on around 125 for 8. The Gents had one particularly good South African bowler who only went for 10 runs off his 7 overs. Next up is Hayes tomorrow, in the shadow of Heathrow Airport...?? our tour match?
Clapham Nomads lost by about 40 runs.
Man of the Match - Zia.
Scores and proper report to follow.
