NOMADS had mixed fortunes on the opening weekend winning the match at Chesham where James While hit a fine century but contrived to lose to Met Police where despite 70 from James Smith the rest of the batting dissappointed. On both days there was some good bowling. At Chesham James While,Joe Ireland and Amit Shanker bowled well and at Met Police veteran David MacVicar was outstanding taking 4 wickets though a bit slack with his catching!,Dawood Shah bowled tirelessly for 17 overs in all but with sparse reward. Andy Smith bowled a mean spell and Wakers proved unhittable for four overs at the close. 

In both games we had the oppo' with their backs to the wall but let them recover to a decent score. With more catches taken both innings may have been much more modest.

After a disappointing performance against Met Police we repaired to the Imber Court Clubhouse and drank merrily for a while. Below is most of our company plus umpire Roger Seymore.
