Itchington II’s stole a march on their promotion rivals by not only finishing the game on a day when no other game finished in the division but also by taking the maximum 22 points available in the circumstances.

Claverdon forfeited the toss due to the lack of a full team and Itchington skipper Dave Buchholz had no hesitation in deciding to field first in a rain affected encounter. Youngsters Tom Perks and Zach Aulakh (6-2-7-1) rewarded him with excellent opening spells taking 3 wickets between them. Steve Chapman (2-21) and Steve Franks (1-19) then continued the good work before Perks (7-0-22-4) returned to finish the innings off with only Heath (25) and Hambleton (13) getting into double figures.

Itchington’s openers Tom Perks (43 n.o.) and Dave Buchholz (24 n.o.) then knocked off the required runs with a minimum of fuss giving Itchington a valuable victory in their quest for promotion.
