“A vast improvement in all departments of our game,” was skipper Dominic Ostler’s verdict after his Berkswell side ran out winners by seven wickets away against a Himley side who had been sitting at the top of the table as the match started.

 

Winning the toss, former Warwickshire batting legend Ostler had no hesitation in electing to bowl first on a track showing a tinge of green. He was duly rewarded as early as the third over when Imran Arif, making his Berkswell debut, claimed the wicket of Himley captain Greg Wright (3) caught behind by Phil Neale. A 49 run partnership between Jamie Harris and Tom Kohler-Cadmore, spanning 13 overs came to an end when Kohler-Cadmore (27) edged a ball from Chris Cheslin into the waiting hands of Phil Neale, and the loss of Kohler-Cadmore was quickly followed by the departure of Harris (21) caught by Tom Lewis again off the bowling of Cheslin.
