COOKLEY moved up to third in Worcester County League Division One (first XI) after seeing off Hagley.

In ideal batting conditions Hagley would have been disappointed by being dismissed for 135 on their home ground.

Cookley skipper Paul Thomas did the damage, taking five wickets for just 18 runs.

His team completed the win with a score of 138 for 6.

The Villagers' second XI were beaten by Bromsgrove's fourths who won by 75 runs.

Cookley's thirds beat Five Ways OEs thirds by 42 runs, man-of-the-match Cookley's Monty Reynolds returned to cricket after 15 years out of the game to score 126 not out and finish with bowling figures of 4-51.
