    In response, the Isle of Wight lost an early wicket but quickly found their rhythm.

    Andy Day, who scored 75 off 70 balls, including four sixes, and Mark Fletcher with 54, built a solid 125-run partnership for the second wicket.

    With the score at 156-3, the target was well within reach.

    Andy White led the final stages of the chase with 30 not out, supported by Jim Thorn (19) and Kerry Rice (26*).

    The Isle of Wight team comfortably reached their target, marking their first county Over-50s victory against a team other than the Channel Islands in many years.

    This victory is a significant boost for the team as they prepare to face the Channel Islands on June 14, in Lymington.
