ASTWOOD Bank skipper Alex Robinson faces a momentous task in lifting morale at the club after their weekend rout by second placed Pedmore.
The visitors' New Zealand A bowler was in devastating form as the hosts were skittled out for 19 with Robinson top scoring with six.
The collapse left the hosts, finding their feet after successive promotions, an uphill task and Pedmore wrapped up maximum points for no loss.
The Sambourne Lane side entertain Division Two high-fliers and neighbours Feckenham tonight (Wednesday) in the Worcestershire County League knockout (6.30pm start) before a crucial relegation battle at third from bottom Romsley on Saturday (2pm start) with only nine points separating the sides.
