County League Division Five Frocester 3rd XI v Dymock

The visitors batted first and made a highly respectable total of 210-8. Paul Spyvee was the pick of the bowlers with a controlled spell of swing bowling, finishing with figures 4-28.

The Frocester reply was led by Mike Hair who continued his fine form throughout the season with an excellent innings of 55.

He was well supported by Tom Ellis who played some fine shots in an inning of 40.

Finally, it was the veteran Paul Spyvee who played some vintage shots to finish the match with 30 not out as Frocester completed the victory with three overs to spare.
