The home side needed just a handful of runs for a six-wicket win, so striker Alex Popko did his best to get the Irishman back on strike.
“Alex nudged one to gully and said yes, but Aaron was out by a bit, he was alright about it, but ‘Poppers’ was very disappointed with himself,” coach Luke Styles said.
