Captain Craig Mark finally won a toss and elected to bat sending in Bernard Cullen and Dave White to open proceedings.

White’s night was short-lived when he was out for a duck brining Michael Hodgson to the crease in a reshuffle of the usual batting order.

Cullen and Hodgson took the score to 38 before Cullen was out for 19.

Craig Mark then came to the crease and together with Hodgson they brought the score to 2-88 at the drinks break, with running between the wickets the feature.

Mark didn’t last long after the break, out for 16, which brought Guy Kelly out looking to up the run rate and he didn’t disappoint and with Hodgson finally hitting his straps, they took the score to 131 before Hodgson was out LBW for a very athletic 65.

This brought Tom Fuller in and he and Kelly kept the momentum of dispatching the bowling to all parts of the ground and out of it.

Kelly was next to fall for 30 and the Nomads were on 6-169. Josh Shaw joined Fuller and the carnage didn’t stop, with the two youngsters showing the older ones how to do it.

Shaw was finally out in the thirty-third over for 17, leaving Graham O’Connell to help Fuller reach his half-century.

However it wasn’t to be with Fuller stranded on 48 not out at the close of the allocated 35 overs with O’Connell also not out on three and the total run score for the Nomads at 6-229.

The Nomads then took to the field extremely confident with Shane Hutchinson and Shane Pound opening up the attack and it didn’t take long for them to start picking up the wickets with some good tight bowling.

Hutchinson finished with 2-15 off his four overs.

This brought on the “destroyer” Guy Kelly, who wreaked havoc once again picking up two wickets in his first over to have the Diggers reeling at 6-28 and they never recovered, with Pound finishing with 2-15 off seven overs.

Kelly again finished with unbelievable figures of 4-9 leaving Graham O’Connell to finish off the Diggers with 1-3 off just four balls.
