AVONCROFT CC Seconds had their youngsters to thank for an 88-run victory at Amblecote and Wollaston.

Batting first, 19-year-old Matt Hare (51) and Luke Townsend (50), aged 16, showed the way with a half century each before 15-year-old Adam Rodway chipped in with 26 as Croft made 185-8.

In reply, Rodway took an early wicket and skipper Guy Weston took 5-16 from nine overs. Two wickets for Will Sach helped skittle the hosts out for 97.
