3rd XI finished their most difficult League season with a draw at home to Preston Nomads IV in drizzling conditions.  Llewelyn Boshoff opened with a bright 31 before fifteen-year-old Ben Towler and Joe Hallam gave Ansty a total of 196 for 7 declared.  Hallam fell on 49, whilst Towler made 44.  Skipper Simon Finch made 17 and Henry Fowler hit an unbeaten 18.  For Nomads, Ronnie Shepherd claimed 4 for 59, whilst thirteen-year-old Josh Levene took 2 for 36.  Chris Bidwell (33) and Clive Hawkins (39) had given Nomads a hope of victory, but once both were dismissed, the visitors settled for a draw.  Henry Fowler took 3 for 53 in 15 overs.
