Playing a 2 innings 20 over game the North batted first despite losing an earlier wicket Garge, Roberts and Hicks played correctly to total 84-3 after 20 overs, Johnny Davenport 2-12 the most successful bowler. Herefordshire's innings was very similar losing an early wicket before Bubb, Morris, Stevenson and Hall all made useful contributions to level the scores, 84-5.

Wickets fell regularly in the Norths second innings with only Roberts, Farukh and Pashan reaching double figures in a score of 82-8, 2 wickets apiece for Hall, Bescoby and Lynch.

Set 83 to win skipper Kennedy anchored the innings with some excellent support from Reid, Jones and Lynch, who hit the winning boundary in the 18th over.
