KIDDERMINSTER Victoria are considering a fresh swoop for up-and-coming Staffordshire League paceman Ross Shelton.

Head coach Ross Edwards has been tracking the Aldridge fast bowler for some time and is set to renew his interest in the summer.

Shelton, who has taken a career-best 35 wickets so far this season, is one of several targets being lined up by KVCC.

The only stumbling block will be Shelton's travel arrangements because the 22-year-old left arm seamer does not drive.

"We'd definitely quite like something to happen," said Edwards.

"He's a player we've been aware of for some time and we'd definitely like to get him here because he's got excellent pace."

Meanwhile, KVCC are appealing for a big crowd to get behind them on Bank Holiday Monday as they bid to preserve their top flight status for another season.

KVCC have given themselves a great chance of survival with a solid first year back in the Birmingham League Premier Division.

And head coach Ross Edwards believes the Chester Road men can go a long way towards staying in the division with a good points return this weekend.

KVCC travel to high-flying Himley on Saturday before playing hosting Kenilworth Wardens on Saturday.

"We could do with a big crowd coming along to support us on Monday because we need to be strong on our home patch," said Edwards.

"It's the best standard of cricket around here and we try to play some attractive stuff so it should be entertaining for spectators."

KVCC will be boosted by the return of Nigel Davenport and Mark Mansell for the Bank Holiday double header after England deaf duty and a family holiday.

"We're lucky this season because we've had a lot of strength in depth and most people who have stepped in have done a good job," he said.

"It's great to have Davenport and Mansell back in though because we know the quality Davenport has got with the ball and Mansell has batted confidently this season.

Another man to come in for praise from the coach is Jonathan Miles who is the club's leading wicket taker during his first year in Birmingham League cricket.

"There were a lot of people who feared we might struggle to replace Craig Jennings when he left last summer but Miles has done a great job," added Edwards.

"He's a left arm spinner from Lincolnshire whose dad played Birmingham League cricket with Aston Unity.

"There were question marks over whether he could do it at this level but he's taken wickets consistently with the new ball and troubled the best batters in the league."
