Josh Stafford batted well for his 25, but Nomads could only muster 56-6 to hand Colwall a comprehensive victory. Charles Griffiths was the pick of the bowling, taking 1-11.

Dominies lost early wickets as their innings stalled, but Steve Miles batted for the majority of their reply to score an excellent 56.
However, Martin Woodward (2-13) restricted the Dominies' batsmen well to set up the Fossils win.
In the Sunday division, the Nomads A' team taught their Academy side a lesson with a 100-run win.
The A' team racked up 166-3 with a hard-hitting batting display.
Steve Bowman (45 no), Derek Austin (29 no), Paul Gardner (27 no) and Danny Rees (19) all contributed to the massive total.
Jamie Smith batted sensibly for 28, but his team-mates could not offer him much support as the youngsters reached 66-6 off their allotted overs.
Meanwhile, Paul Bryan and Jerome Connor both struck unbeaten 26s, Adrian Field scored a quickfire 17 and Karl Goddard was 16 no as Droitwich A' compiled 114-2 in their match with Bromsgrove.
Nick Husbands (1-17) and Harry Smith (1-24) were the only wicket-takers for Bromsgrove.
In reply, Bromsgrove could only manage 74-6 as the Spa side registered a 40-run triumph. Greg Gibbins and Jordon Rose started cautiously for 'Grove.
However, when the openers departed Nick (14) and Paul Husbands (24) came to the crease and injected some much-needed urgency to the scoring rate.
Goddard's figures of 2-12 helped Droitwich to keep Bromsgrove well away from their total to claim victory.
