RAF win first Inter Services T20 cricket title since 2018 after beating Navy at Lord's
The RAF have won their first Inter Services T20 cricket championship in seven years after a stunning victory over the Royal Navy at Lord's.
Earlier in the week, the RAF blasted to victory against the Army and the first match at Lord's saw the Navy lose out to the men in red.
It meant the RAF needed to avoid defeat to be champions, and a superb batting performance saw them win by nine wickets.

It was another great performance from Tom Shorthouse that inspired the RAF victory as he secured a second half-century in as many games with an unbeaten 66 score.
Samuel Moorby came close to 50, too, but was caught by Dan Robbins five runs short of the accomplishment.
Luke Hansford came in to steer the RAF past the Navy target of 149/8, leaving the Air Force to celebrate at the end.
