RUSHWICK'S first Worcestershire Cricket League Second XI Division Two victory of the season came at a canter.

Leg-spinner Wayne Newman grabbed 7-25 to keep visitors Wormelow to 141 all out.

Captain Gary Watkins then chipped in with an undefeated 61 to ensure a seven-wicket victory.

Bromsgrove fourths beat Old Vigornians seconds by four wickets after a strong fightback from the Worcester side when all looked lost.

After being put into bat, 10-man OVs managed a respectable 175 all out.

George Hayward-Meek top scored with 38, Chris Drew made 26, skipper Aidan Thompson 21 and James Bader 24.

Left-arm spinner Edward Barnes, 12, took 5-54 on his debut.

Tom Hope (49) and Lucas Ingram (25) played attractive shots but also rode their luck against tight bowling to share an 85-run opening stand.

Teenager James Hayward-Meek (5-48) returned for a devastating second spell which saw Bromsgrove lose six wickets for 33 runs.

But Tom Smith (33 not out) and Rob Law (25no) steadied the ship and saw the town home by four wickets with overs to spare.

Worcester Nomads lost by nine wickets to Hagley in Division One.

Having reached 69-0 in good time, the visitors' batting imploded, losing all their wickets for just 15 more runs.

Only Malcolm Jones made any headway with a patient 40.

Hagley made light work of the meagre target, taking just 11 overs to record an emphatic victory.

Worcester finally got their season started with a win over Droitwich Spa to go fifth.
