COLWALL will head to Derbyshire side Holmesfield in the last 16 of the Persimmon Village Cup.

The villagers stand to earn a home tie if they can triumph on Sunday, July 10, and hope to impress again after beating Quatt by two wickets in the fifth round.

In sunny conditions, the Shropshire Premier League outfit, who reached the quarter-finals in 2010, chose to bat first.

The visitors started confidently and soon put on 57 for the first wicket with Adrian Evans (41) and Ewan Macarrney (33) finding opening bowlers Sam Crichard and Damien Berry to their liking. The slower bowlers stunted Quatt’s progress and Tom Coleman’s leg-spin took the first wicket when Ben Wheeler caught out Macarrney.

Evans and Dave Street put on 87 for the second wicket before the latter fell to off-spinner Mike King, who took another two wickets in his 3-20 off nine overs.

Coleman and Berry struck late on as Quatt’s 210-6 from 40 overs looked formidable on a wicket that began to turn.

The reply started poorly when Nick Panniers fell lbw but man-of-the-match King (64) joined Coleman (44) to put on 75 for the second wicket.

Crichard (11) and Henry Coleman (12) fell quickly but the run-rate was never too high.

Colwall needed 80 runs from 10 overs but 18-year-old Wheeler hit four sixes and three fours in a fine 42 before Tim Riley and Jonty Hylands guided Colwall home on 211-8 with only two balls left.
