AN ENCOURAGING display failed to lift Chaddesley Corbett as their non-winning streak in Worcestershire Saturday League Division One was extended to five games.

They lost by five wickets at league leaders Old Elizabethans and are now down in fifth after once being serious title challengers.

Chaddesley's 209-9 included an 83-partnership between Kevin Truswell (56) and George Baylis (36).

Matt Boden (47) and Mark Edward (28) earlier put together 74 runs to keep the score ticking along.

Old Elizabethans also had problems getting going but Chaddesley again dropped crucial catches, failing good bowling displays from Paul Connolly (1-64) and Tom Boden (1-37).

A cut to the boundary in the final over decided the match in the Worcester side's favour.

Chaddesley 209-9, Old Elizabethans 212-5.

Chaddesley gained revenge over Swindon for a high-scoring defeat inflicted four years ago by blasting their way to an 82-run victory in Worcestershire Sunday League.

Ex-Chaddesley man Simon Perkins hit 106 in reply.
