Brockhampton 267-5
Aston Manor 269-6
ASTON MANOR WIN BY 4 WICKETS

Manors young side returned to the top of the table with an exciting victory away at fellow promotion hopefuls Brockhampton.

All of the bowlers toiled in the hot weather on a flat track as the hosts posted an imposing total of 267-5 from their 50 overs. All of Manors wicket takers were teenagers with Rikki Bassi grabbing two wickets and one apiece for Brinder Phagura, Shaun Carroll and Trent Turner.

Any hope of victory looked lost when the visitors were reduced to 5-2 but a magnificent partnership between Arfan Latif (108) and Abdul Rahim (72) got the visitors well into the match and some good supporting batting by Scott Bryson (25), Bikki Bassi (15) and Lakky (15no) saw Manor to a tremendous and tense victory with four balls remaining.
