Manor recorded a welcome 6 wicket victory in their Lichfield League Division One match at Church Road against Tamworth on Sunday.

Manors young bowlers performed admirably against a strong batting line up to contain the visitors to 254-6 from their 40 overs. Adam Rana and Rikki Bassi in particular bowled well with debutant Patrick Knott showing great versatility by keeping wicket superbly and then bowling a few useful overs! As Darren Baker wont get a mention for his batting we must commend him on a tidy spell with both the ball and the gloves as well!

Manors reply was built around a blistering partnership between Andy Forman sponsored by Jackson Calvert Chartered Accountants (85) and Ryan van Nierkerk (54). Andy smashed five sixes in his fine innings, which will hopefully give him some much needed confidence, and Ryan was just his usual classy self!

The victory was secured by another good partnership by the impressive pair of Knott (38no) and Bassi (30no) who saw Manor comfortably through to 255-4.
