Captain Jack Henderson led Falkland’s reply in now lovely sunny conditions, scoring 70 from 115 deliveries (his 50 came from 94 balls). Mainly assisted by Jeremy Martins (31 from 59 balls) and Logan Briggs (34 from 34 balls). Falkland reached 177 for 6 wickets in 47.3 overs. Falkland won by 4 wickets.
