MALVERN RAMBLERS SUNDAY 2ND XI v FECKENHAM

Ramblers got off to the worst possible start when R Cullen was caught and bowled for 0 and at 28-3 after 10 overs it did not look too promising.

S Walker came to the crease and after a slow start made a long and sensible innings finally being stumped for 67 and a late flurry of runs, A Bywater 21 and A Herbert 23. Ramblers reached a reasonable total of 181-8 off their 45 overs.

Feckenham's opening batsman got off to a slow start due to some good tight bowling from J Dovey and A Herbert. Dovey bowled opener Daniels for nine and then two overs later he bowled Fletcher for seven, ending with fine figures, 9-3-2-12.
