REDDITCH II v WORCESTER NOMADS II

WORCESTER Nomads Seconds travelled to Redditch in the 1st Division of the Worcestershire Cricket Board League, where they gained an impressive five-wicket win.

After winning the toss and choosing to bat, the Redditch top order never looked comfortable against the pace of Marsh, Chatfield and Ormerod. Wickets fell regularly with only Axle (44) and Altaf (64) doing any damage.

Marsh (4-39) and Chatfield (3-61) were the only wicket takers as Redditch finished on 200-7 from their 50 overs.

In reply, Nomads were never in too much trouble in chasing down the total.

All batsmen chipping in to the innings with Austin (20), Ormerod (39), Leach (22) and Humphreys (24) all contributing before Davies with a creditable 53 saw the away team to the victory total of 200-5 in 37 overs and a maximum 24 point haul.
