A COTSWOLD Hills League representative side easily overcame Evesham at Avon Street.

The hosts were dismissed for 139 with Moreton's Jamie Hurrell sending down nine overs for just nine runs in what was a fabulous effort with the ball by the league players.

Brother Ashley took 4-25 and Bretforton's Alex Evans 2-29 as only Stuart Berry (49) had any answer to the bowling attack.

Shipston pair Julian Morris and Howard Bentham gave the league a solid start in reply with a stand of 31 that was bettered in the middle order when Paul Jones and Simon Cooper added 38.

Jones was stumped for a run a ball 28, while Cooper, after helping Jon Gregory add 35, departed for 26.

It was left to Gregory (31no) to help steer the league to a sweet success with more than 13 overs and five wickets to spare.
