It's drinks all round at Dickson Manchester (DM) after its cricket team's win at the Lloyd's Super Eights and they certainly won't be short of beer money.

DM managing director Charles Manchester placed a £100 bet with odds of 40/1 each way on his own team, winning £6,000 after DM's team beat Wellington Underwriting.

It was the first time both sides had made the finals. DM batted first and scored 176 for 5, while Wellington scored 142 for 7.

DM captain Simon Fitzgerald scored 93 and was Man of the Match.
