This included S Mower who made a fine 85 before unluckily playing on. It was left to W Dyer to continue his good day and see Saham over the winning line in the last over by scoring 25 not out.
M Evans claimed 4-54, P Dewing 3-44 and B Gates 1-24.
Ultimately not scoring enough runs or claiming enough wickets in crucial matches has cost Saham dear this season.
The club would like to thank all its sponsors and supporters for their commitment this season.
The club's annual President's Day will be held on Sunday, September 20, 1pm start when a Saham XI take on a Select XI - all welcome.
