The Sunday team had an exciting win against Saracens in a match that went down to the very last ball.

For the second Sunday in a row, Nick Grant won the toss and elected to bat at London Road, and the openers cashed in on a favourable batting wicket. Solly Woodall (pictured) and Josh Camm put on a 177 run opening stand, until Woodall retired after a well compiled 114. Camm struck his first half century of the summer as he nudged and nurdled his way to 74 before he too retired. Chris Curry and Hannah Davis finished the innings strongly, as the Sunday side posted 242-5 off their 40 overs.

Ben Bezani and the experienced Ian Ridley took the new ball, and Bezani was first to strike in the fourth over picking up Richard Young who was well caught by Camm. Grant turned to Curry with the side in need of wickets, and his wily off spin proved effective, picking up two important scalps of both Gary Hitch and Stuart Hitch both to good catches from Solly Woodall.

Natalie Gurnett and Davies were economical, the latter bowling with impressive control to give the Saracens batsman limited scoring opportunities. Gareth Darby wound back the clock with an important spell late in the innings, and the ever-reliable James Wheeler put on a masterclass behind the stumps.

Saracens required 27 runs off the final two overs, however Grant and Ridley held their nerve to see the Sunday team home by just three runs.
