STROUD made it four wins on the spin, Luke Palmer bagging six wickets for just 15 runs as Hatherley and Reddings collapsed to 66 all-out at the Cullimore Ground.

Earlier, Paul Frape won the toss and asked the visitors to bat.

Palmer and Tom Furley shared the new ball and Palmer was quickly into his stride with six wickets from only 10 overs. Furley kept the pressure on with 1- 28 from his 10 and fellow bowlers Chris Job 2-0 and the Frape 1 for 14 ensured Hatherley could only muster 61.

In reply, openers Tom Horrell and James O’Brien led the chase but Horrell and Dom Thompson were quickly back to the pavilion.

Chris Job steadied the ship and in tandem with O’Brien they knocked-off the remaining runs inside 15 overs. Job finishing on 27 and O’Brien 30 not out.

Star man - Luke Palmer. 10 overs of fantastic swing bowling.
