Close match against Stourbridge
2nd XI
Birmingham League Division Two (South)
Aston Manor 230-7
Stourbridge 231-9
STOURBRIDGE WON BY 1 WICKET
Although this was a close and exciting encounter, Manor will be kicking themselves for not securing victory. Waqas Younis (64), Adam Nevitt (40), Avon Turner (34no) and Trent Turner (30) all made good contributions in posting a competitive total of 230-7 from the allotted 45 overs. Excellent bowling from youngsters Ridoan Asselman (4-30) and Avon Turner (2-36) seemed to have set Manor up for victory, but sloppy cricket gave the visitors the opportunity to recover and on the back of a fine innings from Ali Rashid (71) they scrambled home to an unlikely one wicket victory.
