Despite playing a man short, Abbey made it nine wins out of nine this season at Fort Regent following a four-run victory against Jersey Seniors.
Batting first and losing the prolific Ryan Driver early on, Abbey were made to work hard to reach a total of 88 with Nigel Crocker retiring and finishing on 29.
John Prince also contributed with a respectable 23.
Tidy bowling mid-innings from Dominic Glennon restricted Abbey to one of their lowest scores of the season.
The Seniors got off to a reasonable start and they were on target to win until Prince took two wickets in consecutive deliveries.
By the time the Seniors recovered they required ten runs to win off the final over, bowled by Driver.
Scoring just two runs off the first four deliveries they chances petered before Dave Gorman, who finished unbeaten on 27, ran three.
Driver then delivered a dot ball on the last delivery and the match and title were won.

The latter batted first scoring 99 for 5 with Danny Bertram among the runs with 44.
Pentagon’s Barry Parsons took two wickets for 13 runs.
Parsons, 35, and young Paul Connolly, 22 not out, steered Pentagon to victory for the loss of five wickets.
