Taverners got off to a flying start with Edwards batting confidently and scoring quickly. Left hander Meredith provided solid support and played the anchor role. Edwards was clean bowled by Heslington for 16. Holt (11), Cooper (18) and Dunsdon (11) all provided resistance in partnership with Meredith but when he fell caught at square leg by Higginson off Greaves the Taverners innings petered out. Fearon clean bowled Holt, Clarke and Taylor. Heslington bowled Bailey and Hoddy finished off the innings bowling Harris.

Gardner and Heslington made a positive start and put on 43 in quick time before Gardner was caught by Harris for 19 playing to a wide ball off Nash. Fearon's arrival kept the momentum going and he and Heslington put on a rapid 31 before Fearon was caught behind off Baily for 14. Heslington was then caught by Dunsdon off the bowling of Bailey for 37. Cartwright and Blackburn then set about finishing off the match and took the score to 101 before Cartwright was bowled by Dunsdon for 12. Hussein then prolonged the agony by getting out caught behind of Dunsdon for 0 to collect his third Gonad of the season. Phil Higginson finally hit the winning runs ending 4 not out with Pete Blackburn who was also 4 not out. Giving the Nomads a 5 wicket victory with a comfortable 9.3 overs to spare.

This gave the Nomads revenge for the previous defeat at the hands of Worcester Norton earlier in the season.
