Having been inserted on a slow damp pitch, Nelson College found scoring hard against a steady attack. Peter Young-Husband was the outstanding batsman, well supported by Jamie Skeggs. Extras contributed a healthy 36! The total of 162 proved to be short of a challenging target with Fraser Hawes and Bruce Cameron bowling a tight line.

In reply, The Willows were never troubled to reach the target, winning with 10 overs to spare.

The experienced opening pair of Lindsay Thorn and Paul McEwan put on 69 with shots all around the wicket. Cameo innings from Liam Bartholomeusz (24) and Richard Morgan (23 not out) completed a comfortable victory for The Willows.
