CUTNALL Green CC kept up their challenge for second place in Worcestershire County League division five with a five-wicket win at Stone.
Green are now two points behind Hanley Castle and Upton but are still 48 points behind league leaders Cape Hill Victoria with only two games left.
Green skipper Matthew Harris won the toss for only the third time this season and put Stone into bat.
The hosts struggled from the outset as the Green bowlers steadily took wickets. Some fine fielding from Scott Shuck saw him take three catches and a run out.
Stone finished on 111 all out in 42.4 overs. Mike Cox was the pick of the bowling, finishing with figures of 3-21.
In reply, Green made a slow start and at one point were 61-5. But they finally knuckled down and reached 112-5 in 26.2 overs.
Neil Fletcher top scored on 52 not out.
