Rain fails to stop Nicholson shining against OAs

Saracens Herts League Division 13

WGC 5ths 172-6 Old Albanian 4ths 116-5

SEAN Nicholson shone with the bat after rain tried its best to ruin WGC 5th XI's match with their Old Albanian opponents.

WGC ran up a good total in their allotted 37 overs in a Saracens Herts League Division 13 match shortened by rain.

Skipper Kevin Hyatt and Marcel Mester both got 32 and Bradley Wiles and Lutf Ul-Islam knocked the ball around at the end to good effect.

However, the main contribution was Nicholson's unbeaten 64, which contained six boundaries.

The opposition were a little reluctant to play after the rain and showed no interest in chasing WGC's 172-6 total.

Old Albanian 4ths replied with just 116-5, despite captain Hyatt using six different bowlers.
