Hereford and Colwall both slipped to second consecutive defeats in the Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Division 1 of the West of England Clubs Championship.

Hereford lost out by four wickets at home to Winget, who managed the city side's target with two overs to spare.

Peter Butler hit 92, supported by 42 from Nick Osbourne, as the pair put on 97 for the fourth wicket and helped Hereford to 196-9, restricted by 5-42 from Paul Carter.

Carter went on to shine with the bat and fired 87, aided by Colin Tetley's 45, to see the visitors home.

Hereford were disadvantaged by the loss of skipper Andrew Sockett, who was taken to hospital to have four stitches put in a deep gash on his knee, after a diving stop in the field.

Colwall threw away victory with a batting collapse in their encounter at Malmesbury, chasing the home side's modest total.

A prolific nine-over spell, in which Alan Stickles took 5-25 and David Sutton claimed 4-7, reduced Malmesbury from 83-2 to 106 all out.

And at 74-4, the county side looked to be on target for their first league success of the season, but four wickets for Shellard and three for Gaunt destroyed Colwall and left them 98 all out.

Kington bounced back from the previous week's defeat by Luctonians to take maximum points from their match with Pedmore in Division 1 of the Worcestershire County League.

Wayne Morgan's 61 provided the mainstay of Kington's 165 and in reply visiting Pedmore were knocked over for just 134.

Kevin Gwynne took 4-35, while Rob Symonds and Clive Scott both claimed three wickets apiece.

Luctonians continued their good start to the season with a five-wicket win at home to Evesham after Jamie Layton ripped the visitors apart with 7-33.

Evesham managed to total 174, but Simon Fletcher's 48, plus an unbeaten 38 from Karl Pearson and another 38 by Mike Scott saw Luctonians cruise home in 33 overs.
