Exiles endured an extremely disappointing finish to the season with a 9 wicket defeat to Southern Railway & Kenley in record time at Haydon’s Road Rec on Sunday.

Batting first Exiles were in trouble from the off, with only skipper Shahid (23) and Siyar (13) of the top seven making double figures. With 4 ducks in the line up, Exiles were 44 for 9 before the biggest partnership of the innings – 24 for the last wicket between Shiraz (17no) and John Crossland at least tried to give the Exiles something to bowl at – before John was seemingly inevitably run out. 68 all out in barely over 20 overs.

Which was never going to be enough. But SR&K made sure the total was reached in record time – taking just 6.2 overs to get over the line, with Siyar taking the only wicket – to reach 20 for the season.

So an ignominious defeat to finish a generally successful season.
