CHAINWIRE stormed back to the top of Worcestershire League Division Six with an emphatic 93-run local derby win over Kidderminster Victoria.

The promotion-chasers batted well on an inconsistent wicket and a patient knock of 77 from Steve James laid the foundations for their 191-9.

Neil Colley chipped in with 24 while Ian Chamberlain (3-31) bowled well for Kidderminster.

Kidderminster's reply began brightly with Phil Shaw contributing 32, but then wickets started to fall steadily to Jason Williams (4-38) and Mark Meese (3-24).

Steve James capped a fine personal all-round display by grabbing 2-9 as Kidderminster were dismissed for 96 off 35.4 overs.
