Bloss on song to stun league leaders Southam

Aug 6 2008

Solihull Times

 

SOLIHULL Blossomfield got their premier division season back on track with a six-wicket win over league leaders Southam.

The table toppers were dismissed for 145 and Bloss cruised to victory after prolific batsman Kashif Abbassi struck 58.

Offchurch Lapworth remain in the Division One promotion hunt after an easy away victory over relegation-threatened Ansley Sports.

Sean Cross took 5-37 as the hosts slumped to 129-9, and in reply Steve Marillier chipped in with 53 as Lapworth comfortably won by eight wickets.

In the Division Two, Marston Green were left frustrated as their home tie with bottom club Ambleside was abandoned. The North

Solihull side slipped into the relegation zone due to other teams picking up points over the weekend.

Castle Bromwich continued to apply pressure to the top two sides as they beat lowly Elford by three wickets.

The Staffordshire side were bowled out for 206, and Castle Bromwich reached their target with the loss of seven wickets.

League leaders Barby defeated Hampton & Solihull at Marsh Lane to deal a crushing blow to their promotion chances.

Barby posted 259 for 2 from their 50 overs with Rob Field scoring a superb 110 backed up by Dave Watson (63) and Tom Gleghorn (61 not out).

In reply, H&S lost two wickets early on and were always against it. Dave Castle (24) and Rich Lucas (22) both looked in good form until being bowled but a fine rearguard from Ian Cherry (28 not out) and Tim Keyte saw H&S to 150 for 7 for an extra batting point but a disappointing losing draw.

Elsewhere second placed side Corby defeated Knowle & Dorridge III by two wickets. ..SUPL:
