WYRE Piddle strolled to a 108-run win over Kempsey in a friendly encounter.

Kempsey lost the toss and were put in the field, but their bowlers responded well and kept things tight early on.

Wilson scored 31, but the bowling side remained in a strong position.

However, with Taylor (63) and Oakley (61) at the wicket, runs became easy to find and a partnership of more than a hundred put Wyre Piddle back on top.

Following Taylor's run out by a good throw from Jack Murphy, it was again hard to score runs and Wyre Piddle ended their innings on 204 all out.

The pick of Kempsey's bowling was youngster Mark Tucker who claimed 4-36 from 7.4 overs.

Wicketkeeper and captain David Robinson also turned his arm over during Wyre Piddle's innings, picking up 2-17 from four overs.

In their reply, Kempsey offered little resistance to Wyre Piddle's competitive attacking field. Only Chris Genever (15) managed to reach double figures early in the innings, but he was ran out when he was slow getting back into his ground and was caught short by a superb direct hit from behind square leg.

A late surge from youngsters Jack Murphy (27 not out) and Mark Tucker (18) left Kempsey at 96 all out - 108 runs short of their target.

Teece (9-1-18-2) and Moore (8-1-30-5) were the best of the Wyre Piddle bowlers.
