DROITWICH Spa Firsts suffered a disappointing defeat at Aston Manor in Sunday's Berry League game.

Chasing a gettable 212 from 45 overs, Spa got themselves into a good position at 140-2 but collapsed disastrously to 156 all out.

The first three batsmen, Nigel Haddock, Paul Bryan and Wesley Euley, all got in but disappointingly none went on to play a match-winning innings.

Earlier, Spa had bowled reasonably on a seamer friendly track.

Youngster Peter Gunston maintained an impressive line and length on his First XI debut as did fellow seamer Bryan - although it was far from his debut.

Spinner Michael Gunston was Spa's most effective bowler. He took 3-27 off his nine overs.

An interesting feature was the appearance together of all three Gunstons for the first time - father Brian and sons Mike and Peter.
