Manor fall short
Weoley Hill 231 for 5 in 45 overs
Aston Manor 183 All Out in 36,3 overs
Aston Manor lost by 48 runs
Weoley elected to bat and put on a 1st wicket stand of 142, Manor dropped both openers early, several times. Eight dropped catches meant the bowlers struggled. Kieran Carroll (1/42) and Yo Parvez (1/71) bowled well with no real reward. Liam and Bilhal no reward at all for tight bowling, Geoff Knowles showed us some light with 3/42. weoleys total of 231 looked beatable on a generally decent track.
In reply Manor lost Bilhall in the 1st over but Reece Fletcher (53) and Usman Rana steadied things in a 49 partnership, before the rot set in. wickets fell at regular intervals, in the main due to poor selection. All batsmen got into double figures but other than Amaritpal Singh (35) all failed to make significant contributions. In the end Manor came up well short, and all agreed on a lads lustre performance.
