THREE games in as many days await Kidderminster Cricket Club in a hectic Bank Holiday weekend.

And they will be waiting anxiously on the fitness of Worcestershire's Reuben Spiring who has been their main run scorer so far.

Kidderminster entertain Aston Unity in the Birmingham and District League Premier Division on Saturday and visit Barnt Green on Monday.

On Sunday, they host Worcester in the second round of the National Knockout Cup after a good win over Himley at the weekend.

Spiring suffered knee problems while hitting 53 in Saturday's six-wicket league defeat at Wolverhampton.

He was unable to field and his county will not want to risk him as injury woes have blighted the 26-year-old's career.

Town skipper Mark Mansell conceded: "It's a bit of a worry for us because he's been the only one scoring many runs."

A number of players pitched in with useful totals against Himley as the town scored 224-9 before winning by five runs.

Mansell said: "It's the league that's important but it's good if we can have a run in this competition as it creates a good atmosphere around the place.

"I wasn't really happy at Wolverhampton as the game depended on who won the toss. As soon as we lost it and went into bat, it was always going to be difficult.

"We were down to 26-5 quite quickly and I was really frustrated. I wouldn't put too much blame on the batsmen - the pitch was pretty awful. I don't believe Birmingham League games should be that dependent on the toss.

"Three games in three days is not ideal. These days people are struggling to commit themselves to that sort of level - wives and girlfriends need to see them at some stage!

"We normally get a weaker side on a Bank Holiday Monday but most people should be able to play.

"The batsmen will benefit from getting more opportunities to get to the crease but it's probably not the same for the bowlers. However, it's a one-off."

Kidderminster are fourth from bottom and Mansell admits it is difficult to judge who will be the two relegated.

He added: "Any side can beat any other on their day. Barnt Green are bottom but I never take too much notice of the league table at this stage.

"We need to look at getting enough points to survive because staying in the top league is critical.

"Normally there's someone you can point out and say they will probably go down. But I'm looking round and thinking everyone is pretty strong.

"We need to improve our batting. We've played on two difficult wickets now but we must make the most of our chances."
