The East of Scotland cricket select took their annual match with West counterparts to the wire before losing out on the last delivery.
In a match reduced to 30 overs-a-side due to inclement weather the East batted first and made a notable 203-7 with Kash Hussein top scoring on 43 supported by Kaushik Suresh (29) and Nabkishore Pani (25).
However, despite best East efforts the West scrapped through on 204-3 with Sureesh, Euan Wrench and Nithin Lehka claiming a wicket apiece.
Pictured are the East line-up who hosted the match at Carlton CC: Back row, left to right: Sidhiq Ajmal (Edin Accies), Dinesh Tharanga (Gala), Ahmed Ali (Livingston), Adnan Ali (Livingston), Nithin Lehka (Edin Accies), Euan Wrench (Stew Mel), Kaushik Suresh (Morton), Nabkishore Pani (Edin South).
