Nomads restricted Southgate to 191 with Renshaw (3-43), Ben Posen, Nick Landesberg, Andy Landesberg and Richard Berman among the wickets.
Andy Finlay provided the early impetus in Nomads reply with nine fours in a quick-fire 48. But it was Jerome Roith, with an unbeaten 73 in just 19 overs, who gave the visitors hope of an unlikely victory.

Victory proved to be just out of reach but along with Simon Renshaw, the pair comfortably saw off the final six balls to claim a deserved draw.
