DROITWICH booked their place in the third round of the WISE Communities UK Twenty/20 Cup by defeating Earlswood by ten wickets.

Spa captain Steve Walsh decided to bowl first and saw Michael Rogers remove Earlswood's openers for nine runs.

Despite a battling 47 by Windeatt Spa bowled Earlswood out for 112 in the 19th over.

Anthony Small (3-24) and Rogers (3-16) were the pick of Spa's bowlers.

Openers Ferley (61) and Ian Cottril (40) then set about launching Spa on the way to victory and guided the team to 113 in the 15th over. Last season Droitwich reached the national semi-finals of the competition and will be aiming to go at least one step better in 2006.
