CHADDESLEY Corbett's Jon Riches ensured basement boys Netherton are still without a victory on Monday.

Riches crashed 117 runs as Chaddesley swooped for a four-wicket Worcestershire League Division One success.

Rowan Vorster (6-58) earlier claimed another six-wicket haul as Netherton were dismissed for a competitive 205.

Fifth-placed Chaddesley bounced back from Saturday's defeat to seize their second league win of the season.

Netherton 205, Chaddesley 206-6.

Chaddesley's hopes of challenging for the title took a blow at the weekend with a three-wicket loss at high-flying Brockhampton.

Neil Griffiths (42) top scored in a 182-9 total on a tricky pitch and then the visitors claimed six early cheap wickets.

But Brockhampton recovered through strong hitting from N Price (74) and A Watkins (40).

Chaddesley 182-9, Brockhampton 183-7.

The struggling seconds had a poor Bank Holiday weekend with a double defeat consigning them to the lower half of the table.

Matthew Yardley scored 62 runs in their 207-8 against Netherton who then romped home to a seven-wicket success.

Chaddesley 2nds 207-8, Netherton 208-3.

On Saturday, Chaddesley failed to impress again with 156-9, including 37 from Tom Boden, nowhere enough to protect the game against Brockhampton in a five-wicket loss.

Chaddesley 2nds 156-9, Brockhampton 157-5.

Chaddesley again made their way into the National Village Knockout regional final with a superb batting display at Eastnor on Sunday.

Ian Chambers hammered a quick-fire 104 runs, while further contributions from Paul Lyman (71 not out) and Mark Edward (35) ensured Chaddesley reached 256-5.

In reply, Riches turned his attention to bowling with a handy 4-32 and veteran spinner Dave Perry chipped in with two wickets as their Division One rivals were bowled out.

Chaddesley 256-5, Eastnor 196.
