Barton won the toss and elected to bat.

Barton batted on after tea to post a total of 209 for 8. Heslington was the pick of the Nomads bowlers with 5 for 56. Fearon (2-48) and Greaves (1-26) also picked up wickets.

Openers Gardner and Heslington (15) made an excellent start for the Nomads putting on 54 for the first wicket before Heslington was caught behind. Gardner was controversially caught behind for 31 a few balls later. Fearon continued the attack but was given out lbw to Carr for 42. Higginson scored a quickfire 10 including a 6 but Nomads ultimately did well to hold out for a draw with last wicket pair Hoddy and Cartwright batting out the last 4 overs.
