Week 12 Gloucestershire Cricket League round-up

JOE Conway finished with memorable figures of 7-20 from only eight overs for leaders Andoversford who completed a five wicket home win against Ullenwood Bharat 4ths in Division Nine B of the Gloucestershire League.

The visitors were dismissed for 67 after losing the toss as Conway ran through the order before wrapping up the points in less than ten overs.

Gloucester AIW 2nds remain second after hanging on for a four-run win away to Charlton Kings 2nds.

Innings of the day came in Division Six B where Bibury’s Adeko Collymore hammered an unbeaten 206 off just 117 (20 fours, 13 sixes) to pave the way for a 96-run triumph at Eastcombe.

The opener propelled his side to a total of 340-5 ahead of Alastair Taylor grabbing 4-39 from eight to wrap up the points.

Collymore, incidentally, has now scored five centuries this summer and is only 69 away from breaking the 1,000-run barrier with six more rounds of games to go.

Leaders Lechlade were 52-run victors at Oldlands while high-flying Tetbury 2nds trumped Tormarton by five wickets.

Opener Prashant Shah, meanwhile, walloped 155 from 109 (23 fours, seven sixes) for Arcadian Nine Elms in Division Seven A.

That innings took his side to 273-9 away to Highnam Court who came up 35 runs short despite the efforts of Rob Burgess (49).

Corse & Staunton, the Division One leaders, marched past Chipping Campden by ten wickets, Te Shawn Zyun Alleyne capturing 4-16 and then following up with an unbeaten 56 while captain Ed Goolden contributed 62 not out.

Cheltenham 2nds remain in the runners up position despite a one-run home setback against Cirencester, while Cheltenham Civil Service missed a chance to close the gap with a 53-run defeat at Rockhampton for whom Charlie Groves took 3-18 from five.

Relegation-battling Lydney trumped bottom side Redmarley by 94 runs, opener Tom Legge cracking 69 while there were three wickets apiece for Jack O’Connell, Jordan Stone and Callum Miller.

Dumbleton 2nds opened up a seven-point lead at the top of Division Two thanks to a four wicket home victory over promotion rivals Apperley, Arthur Sweeting unbeaten on 43.

And Tewkesbury 2nds remain in contention following a three-wicket home success over struggling Shurdington that included a haul of 4-37 from Alex Oliver.

Leaders Woodmancote emerged emphatic 175-run home winners over nearest rivals Gloucester AIW in Division Three.

Grant Spencer’s 113 from 89 (14 fours, five sixes) lifted his side to an imposing 309-7 ahead of Mike Morris (3-11) leading the charge with the ball.
