DEVASTATING bowling from Steve May helped Old Elizabethans maintain their 31-point lead at the top with a crushing 10-wicket win at third-placed Pershore.

May bagged 7-26 as the Worcester-based side skittled their hosts for just 53, and OEs knocked off the runs without loss to stay well clear of second-placed Pedmore.

Chaddesley Corbett, who are fourth, were edged out by just one wicket at home to lowly Astwood Bank, with Dave Perry's fine spell of 6-51 all in vain.

Bromyard moved up into sixth place, Ashley Bullock hitting 107 as they defeated Droitwich Spa by six wickets, despite half-centuries from Ian Duggan and Brent Hawkins for Spa.

The Luctonians v Netherton clash was abandoned due to rain, while Ombersley slipped to the bottom of the table after a losing draw at home to fellow strugglers Hagley.
