KIDDERMINSTER Victoria drew with Malvern in their Division Two match.

Winning the toss, KVCC elected to field, but with a depleted bowling attack they had to work hard to contain the home side.

Two wickets each for Kyle McAllister and Simon Cooke could not prevent Malvern from amassing 298-7.

In reply, after the early loss of Dave Wardle, Godfrey Lamb hit 26, Matt Brace 28 and Cooke 31, but a fine spell of bowling from Rob Francis saw KVCC reduced to 146-6.

James Manley, with 57no, rounded off a fine season with b at and along with Andy Kimberlin (29no) put together a seventh wicket unbroken partnership of 85 to ensure their team got a share of the points. KVCC took nine points, Malvern 14.
