CUTNALL Green CC First XI were held to a winning draw by Stone last Saturday.

In their Worcestershire County League division five match, Green batted first to a comfortable 215-4 from a rain-affected 37 overs.

Neil Fletcher (88), Phil Bayliss (38) and a quickfire 22 from D Higgins helped put Green in control.

But Stone batted for a draw and finished on 93-4 despite Green fielders dropping three difficult catches.

Captain Matthew Harris was the pick of the bowlers, taking three wickets.

It was a different story on Sunday though as Birlingham beat Cutnall Green by seven wickets.

Green batted first and started well but collapsed after the loss of the loss of the fourth wicket and were dismissed for 137.

In reply, Birlingham had no trouble reaching the required target from 28 overs despite some good bowling from openers J Latham and A Evans.
