Result - Winning Draw

Bridgnorth 1st XI batted first at Tamworth in the Birmingham League and got off to a good start as Ryan Lockley and Jono Whitney put on 113 for the first wicket. This platform gave licence to Jack Edwards, Matt Martin and skipper Mark MacPherson-Lees to helping boost their sides score 252 all out and maximum battling points.

Two quick wickets in the Staffordshire club's reply had the visitors eyeing victory, but a measured approach by James Gray and Simon Schwerdt took the game back and at 188-4 any result was possible.

Both fell to MacPherson-Lees who went on to claim 5-25 off five overs as the hosts tottered their way to safety at 225-9.

Result - Winning Draw

Batting first at home against Lichfield, Bridgnorth's second string posted a commanding 245-8, based around a commanding 89 from Nick Gray after early-order runs for Andy Carson and Tom Weston, and a well paced 29 from the seasoned Ed Mullard.

Lichfield got off to a flyer in reply with Stuart Fielding in imperious form until he lost his wicket to Andy Leather. In tandem with Steve Caine the highly experienced duo reigned in the run chase as the game petered out to a tame draw with the visitors closing on 198-7.
