COOKLEY slipped to a 194 run loss to Worcestershire Division One leaders Colwall on Saturday.

The table-toppers were asked to bat and carefully put together a fine 242-9, with Danny Soley the pick of the bowlers with 10 overs 2-32.

In reply, the firsts slumped to one of their lowest ever totals of just 48 and slip down the table to fifth.

Only veterans Adam Nicholls and Gary Mills achieving double figures.

Cookley seconds chose to bat in a rain reduced 40 over contest and were indebted to opener Mike Wood, who held the innings together with 81 not out, while James Brown’s 25 helped the total to get on up towards a reasonable score of 184.

However, assisted by bowling 39 wides, Enville easily knocked off the required runs for the loss of just three wickets with 14 balls to spare.

Jon Howells top scoring with 64 not out.

The thirds went down to Belbroughton by six wickets.

Asked to bat first, Cookley and struggled against a fine bowling attack and when chairman Phil Dixon (35) was run out it sparked a collapse from 77-1 to 134 all out.

Si Kirby bowled superbly with 4-21 but Will More-King (58no) and Justin Gray (55) ensured the result was never in doubt.
