After yet another late arrival by Bristol Indians, the game was reduced to 40 overs per side and the Indians were asked to bat first on a soft wicket.

Early Breakthoughs from Nairn and then Butcher put Blagdon in control and although there was some resistance from the Indian middle order aided by 8 dropped catches!!, Blagdon ensured that they were only chasing an under par total of 128 for 9.

After Tea, and despite the early loss of Jeremy Board, Ian Nairn and Simon Westbrook batted well and always looked in total command of the frustrated Indian bowlers. Westbrook was eventually dismissed for 37 with the game all but over but Nairn got to 49 not out with just 3 runs needed for victory when the "confused" Mark Sage smashed a boundary to win the game but deprive Nairn of his maiden fifty for Blagdon.

Three wins out of three games now for the rampaging Blagdon!
