Nomads crossed the river to the pleasant ground of our friends Northfields cc last Sunday with hopes of at least making it as close as the classic fixtures in the last 2 seasons - a 1 run win and a 1 wicket defeat. The home side batted and I'm told by John and Emil that their top scorer made around 80 but was dropped 4 times. Northfields closed on around 188 but at least we managed to dismiss them; a reasonable bowling performance. In reply Nomads somehow found ourselves on 8 for 4 - John started to give me a very grim post-mortem on this in the pub but thankfully we soon all started arguing about a more cheerful subject (Brexit) instead. Nomads did well to recover somewhat from this, with Riaz hitting a fine 36 or so, before he had to go off with a foot injury. KK and John stuck around for a while at the end but we finished up on about 138 - better than it could have been anyway.
More details when I get the scorebook next week.
