Eastnor made the trip to their old rivals Kington on Saturday for this WCL division one clash.

KINGTON v EASTNOR

Kington batted first and scored a massive total of 308-3 in 43 overs and then declared. D Exall 126, T Brierly 93, Butterworth 46no, E Symmonds 10, along with 28 extras, helped the score.

Tom Hurrell claimed two wickets for Eastnor. Fielding was made difficult by the very wet outfield, which saw a number of players slip in an effort to field the ball.

Eastnor, in reply, got off to a bad start with Baker going third ball. Shahid along with Steve Fortey built a reply before Shahid departed for 43.

Runs still came at a steady rate with the plan to hold out for the draw. Steve Emery batting with Fortey pushed the score to 122 before the latter was out for a fine 69.

Adeel scored 27 before he was stumped.

With Kington having 57 overs to bowl Eastnor out, they managed to get late wickets but the plan failed with Eastnor holding out to finish on 174-8.

Kevin Gwynne, Adam Herbert and T Brierly all claimed two wickets.

Tomorrow (Saturday), Eastnor are away again at Stourbridge.
