The British Army have beaten the RAF by three wickets at Lord’s to keep their championship hopes alive.

After a shocking defeat to the Navy on Tuesday, the Army knew only victory could keep them in the title hunt.

In a match that was reduced to 12 overs each due to rain stoppage, Oskar Kolk hit the winning runs as the Army navigated through a tricky innings to win.

Tom Shorthouse was the pick of the players for the Air Force with his 24 runs and four wickets not enough to secure RAF victory.

The Army now play the Navy knowing anything but a win ends their championship ambitions.
