Exiles picked up a dramatic 1 wicket win against Stroke Makers at Cottenham Park on Sunday.

Fielding first on a sweltering day Exiles regularly took wickets but there were enough hits in between from the oppo to allow them to reach 208 all out – with 3 wickets for Jibran Ahmed and Simon Gundry.

Exiles reply looked well placed at 133 for 3 thanks to 64 runs each from Sabir Khurshid on debut and skipper for the day Bernard Leuvennink. But after a flurry of wickets it was left to Ahmed (24no) to strike the Exiles home for the second time this season.

Club match at Dundonald next Sunday.
