Kibworth V Medbourne

Medbourne visited Kibworth in their latest Wednesday night fixture and it was Kibworth who triumphed to maintain their 100% record. Medbourne batted first and after a slow start increased their rate with Bott (19), Fergus Clarke (19), Shillcock (23) and Driver (31 not out) helping them reaching a reasonable total of 115 for 3 from their 14 overs. There was a wicket each for Reilly, Wilkins and Bailey. When Kibworth batted the openers soon got into their stride and Pedley (47) and Bale (42 not out) put on over 70 for the first wicket. The solitary wicket by Driver bought Hamilton (25 not out) to the crease and together with Bale they reached their target in the 12th over. Kibworth look destined to top the league although Medbourne can still secure 2^nd place and look forward to the cup final against Billesdon.

Medbourne v Fleckney

In a match delayed by rain and reduced to 12 overs a side, Medbourne recorded an excellent victory at home to Fleckney. Batting first the runs flowed as Fergus Clarke (59) and George Bott (37 not out) put on 90 for the first wicket. A quick 32 not out from George Clarke ensured Medbourne reached a challenging 136 for 9 from their 12 overs. The only wicket fell to Stevens with Hind bowling well for Fleckney conceding only 18 from his 3 overs. Although the Fleckney openers put on 22 in the first 2 overs they then lost wickets quickly and only Brown (24), Spence (14) and Fairclough (10) reached double figures. Their innings ended on 90 for 9, a victory for Medbourne by 46 runs. Wickets were shared with 2 each for Harry Clarke, Brad Downing and Jack Rose with Alex Frith, Josh Haynes and George Clarke taking the others. There were catches from George Bott, Jack Rose, Fergus Clarke, and George Clark. The only disappointment was the rejection of a caught behind by Joel Nance by his umpire father. The batsman later admitted that he nicked it!
