Winning the toss and choosing to bowl first, Cam Wallis (1-35) and Doug Roberts (2-26) made good early inroads into the visitors batting line-up. James Wojda (43) stood firm with the bat for his side, but spin-twins Sam Morgan (3-18) and Alex Yarnley (3-7) tore through the tail to dismiss Whitchurch for 115.

The Cricket Meadow men’s reply was as brutal as it was clinical, with skipper Yarnley (52 not out) and Andy Carson (53 not out) racing their side past the victory target in just the 16th over, and securing vital maximum points in the process.
