Comfortable victory to start UK Season

In a curious match Nomads easily beat Crouch end Calthorpe. Curious in that the home sides innings was based on a 2nd wickets stand of 94 between Logan and Ahir. Both batsmen should have been out several times and Croom-Johnson's fine spell was worthy of five wickets.Krunil bowled tidily though Wolfie Teser was expensive.

However it was the introduction of debutant Hassan Farooq who destroyed the innings' momnetum with four quick wickets and Blumberg cleaned up the tail to the chagrin of grumpy Croomers.

After an ecellent tea nomads were quickly introuble losing two early wickets.Woolhouse and Gavin added almost 50 runs before Calthope removed them leaving nomads at 64-4.

Michael Thewlis making a rare but welcome appearance for Nomads now took control and with Hassan Farooq in aggreesive form these two added a further 90 runs for victory.
