Exiles were beaten by 72 runs by Unabombers at Cottenham Park.

Put into bat Unabombers started very circumspectly particularly against Naren who bowled an excellent spell up the hill of 7-4-6-1. However a fine captains innings of 94 not out from Simon Begley took the Unabombers to an above par score of 184 for 6 off their 35.

The run rate of Exiles reply was never an issue, but wickets were. Riaz hit a quick fire 30 and Joe Farrington-Douglas – in his first game for 10 years – hit a career best 25, but nobody was able to provide the innings of substance the Exiles needed and the side were bowled out for 112.

A break next weekend. Streatham & Marlborough at Dundonald Rec next on 6 September.
