COLWALL batsman Tom Coleman has started the new season with an unbeaten century in their five-wicket triumph at Bewdley.

Coleman struck 126 not out as Colwall successfully chased Bewdley’s competitive 231-5 in their Worcestershire League Division One opener.

Charlie Eastoe (110) dominated the Bewdley innings before he was dismissed off the last delivery from Wehant Joubert.

Nick Panniers (49) gave Colwall a decent start but Coleman guided the visitors to the target.

Joubert (10 not out) struck the winning boundary for Colwall, who host Oldwinsford and Stourport Social at Stowe Lane on Saturday (1pm).
