THE battle for the Worcestershire Cricket League Second XI Division One title will go to the final day.

Leaders Stourport and second-placed Worcester beat Hagley and Bewdley respectively with just two points separating them.

Faisal Khalid scored 80 and Tom Pinfield took 4-40 in Worcester's four-wicket win while Spencer Colley hit 64 and Mark Guest claimed 4-32 in Stourport's seven-wicket success.

Worcester visit Colwall on Saturday while Stourport host Harborne fourths.

Third-placed Coombs Wood could only muster a losing draw at Worcester Nomads who were fired by Jamie Oliver (64) and Derek Austin (52).

Old Vigornians were thrashed by nine wickets in just 15 overs by Division Two title-chasers Netherton after their nine men were dismissed for 133.

The Worcester side slipped to fifth place.

Division Three champions Kidderminster could only muster a losing draw at Alvechurch and Hopwood.

Teenager Owen Bolton (170) and Michael Reece (110) put on a first-wicket opening stand of 252 for second-placed Bromyard in their victory against Himbleton.

Avoncroft beat Kempsey by 28 runs and 95 from Eastnor’s Ian Milton at Five Ways Old Edwardians could not stop the hosts gaining a winning draw.

Barry Addison took 5-22 for Malvern as they beat neighbours West Malvern by five wickets in Division Four.

Martley leapfrogged them into second following their three-wicket victory over fourth-placed Romsley and Hunnington.

The visitors struggled against the Martley opening attack of David Kelly (1-11) and Max Houchin (1-24).

Shahnawaz Shamim (3-33) saw Romsley in danger of a paltry total before David Quigley (23) and Adam Lovatt (21) intervened.

Youngsters Tobey Jones, Owen Birchley and Will Dunks polished off the innings for 126.

Tom Butler (20) and Stu Watt (17) gave Martley a good start but the middle order collapsed.

However, Jones hit 29 and Kelly 25 not out as Martley got home with three wickets to spare.

Hallow Taverners gained a winning draw in a rain-reduced affair at Himley.

In the Saturday Knockout Cup final at Birlingham, Yassir Hussain took 5-19 to help Worcester thirds beat Old Elizabethans thirds by nine wickets.

The Saturday Plate final at Stone saw Birlingham beat Enville fourths by 10 wickets as they restricted their opponents to 87-7 in a rain-shortened match.
