ALVECHURCH and Hopwood were on the receiving end of a 10 wicket hammering by Netherton in Worcester County League Division Three.
Reduced to 138 all out, Alvechurch and Hopwood had no answer as Netherton knocked off the runs without loss to reach 139 for none.
Curtis Beach with 43 and Edd Rogers who reeled off 39 helped Alvechurch reach their total after 40 overs.
But Russ Oseland with 43 not out and Matt Lowe who lashed 72 not out saw Netherton net the points after 27.4 overs.
Alvechurch and Hopwood hope for a marked improvement this Saturday when they travel to second from bottom side Rushwick.
