Willoughby v Culworth

Willoughby 140 for 7
Culworth 141 for 4

Culworth won by 6 wickets

Willoughby continue to struggle at present in Division 1 of the SNCL as visitors Culworth continued their unbeaten assault at the right end of the table.

Batting first, the hosts looked in real trouble early on having been reduced to 7 for 2. However knocks from Jonny Cumiskey (47), Dave Alcock (35) and Robin Corrigan (24) at least gave the home side something to bowl out, as they reached 140 for 7 after their allotted overs.. Peter Bateman taking 2 for 25 for Culworth

In reply, Culworth's measure reply saw them reach their victory target with more than 10 overs to spare. Opener Derek Oxley made an unbeaten 45, and aided by Chris Bateman adding 37 saw the visitors to another 20 point haul. Tom Hill took 3 for 25 for Willoughby.

Suddenly forthcoming games away at current bottom markers Gayton (this Saturday) and then against Afro Caribean the week after take on a greater emphasis as the league season approaches the halfway point.
