Itchington produced their worst overall performance of the season as they lost at bogey team Campden.
Opener Rose, a heavy run scorer against Itchington, was reined in to the extent that he was dismissed for ‘only’ 41 at 63-2 in the 20th over. At this point the visitors were in the box seat but aggressive knocks from Nicholls (24) and in particular Harrison (46) playing around a solid knock of 44 from Grey saw the home side escape the shackles to 212-8 off their allocation. Martin Clark was the pick of the bowling with 10-3-24-4.
Itchington replied with a solid 44 but from 60-2 they floundered against tight bowling. Stephen Rawbone (29) and Aaron Jones (24) did their best but all rounder Nicholls produced some superb figures of 9-5-7-5 in two spells as the middle and lower order succumbed to finish on a very disappointing 120 all out in only 38 overs and defeat by 92 runs.

LI were heavily beaten in their opening league encounter on Saturday. After electing to bat they didn’t make best use of some wayward bowling and quick outfield and found themselves 44-4 in the 19th over.
Martyn Rawbone and George Insall added 55 in good time to stop the rot before the latter was dismissed for 18. A couple of further quick wickets stemmed progress until Richard Cressey joined Rawbone and they managed to put on 55 in 7 overs with both unbeaten at the close with 26 and 77 respectively out of a final total of 192-7 with 5 visiting bowlers sharing the wickets. Godson (8-3-23-2) and Harrison (10-2-32-2) being the pick.
It was to prove well short of a defendable total as the Campden openers launched an assault from the off with Rose in particular, he scored a ton against LI last year, being particularly brutal. Length balls were smashed to the boundary before Grey was dismissed for 25 in the 17th over with the score at 92.
Rose finally succumbed for 93 in the 27th over at 158. Only one further wicket was taken as the visitors romped home by 7 wickets with 10 overs to spare.
