9 man Exiles were beaten narrowly by new opposition The Blues on a showery Haydon’s Road Rec on Sunday.

Unusally Exiles won the toss and elected to bowl and restricted The Blues to 165 all out – one over shorter than the allocated 30 – with 4 wickets for KK.

Exiles were soon in trouble at 48 for 4 in reply and despite a restorative 53 out out from KK, with support from Siyar and Ishaq, it was just too little too late to rescue the win as Exiles finished 10 runs short.

Final game of the season next week is against Southern Railway and Kenley at Haydon’s Road.
