Aston Manor 3rd Team

Aston Manor continued their recent good form with a hard fought win against a very good Southam outfit. Having won the toss we took to the field where we bowled them out for 169 with the wickets being shared between all the bowlers. Special mention to Qas Haider bowling very tight and disciplined overs.

Our innings started off badly with Ian GOLDEN QUACK Prichard going in the first over! Man of the Match Nick Farrell carrying his bat with an unbeaten 65 supported very well with Nathan and Dave Woakes, leaving the skipper to wrap the win with an unbeaten 19 not out making another very enjoyable Saturday afternoon.

Aston Manor won back to back games with an easy win against a well organised Weoley Hill outfit. Having won the toss we put Weoley Hill into bat where we soon had them 11 for 2 they finishes on 137 all out, with the wickets being shared between all 5 bowlers used.

Having travelled to the ground with 10 players special thanks goes to Nathan Woakes who had been training with his football team made a long journey across town to make our 11th player at very short notice.
