Choosing to bat first did not work out as they could only make 137-9 from their 50 overs with only Connor Hyde (40) and Jack Young (27no) making much impact against bowling led by Christopher Suddaby (4-40).

Woodhouse took their time to knock off the runs, but got home with five wickets to spare in the 43rd over, thanks largely to Christopher Bilton’s 69no.
