The spoils are shared at Lord’s

Before tonight both the MCC and the RAC had 100% records, but with the two coming together for their last match of the season something had to give. Tonight the two giants clashed and honours were even 4-4 and so both clubs finished on 15 points out of a possible 16, and therefore are certain of sharing first place in the Hamilton-Russell Cup for 2023-24 as they are out of reach of those sides with fixtures remaining.

Well done to the MCC and the RAC!
