TOM Fell excelled on his home ground as Worcestershire seconds experienced mixed fortunes in their two T20 matches with MCC Young Cricketers at Wolverhampton.
Batsman Fell registered 65 and 48 not out at the club where he has played for many years when County commitments allow.
Worcestershire lost by three wickets in the opener after being put in but then cruised to a nine-wicket win after the MCC elected to bat.
Head coach Kevin Sharp took charge for the double-header and was reunited with former Yorkshire club-mate Steve Kirby who leads the MCC.
In game one, the County posted a challenging 190-3.
Skipper Ollie Westbury (73 off 47 balls) and Fell put on 106 in 10 overs for the second wicket.
Both batsmen hit two sixes and eight fours and then Alex Milton weighed in with 27 not out from 22 balls.
The MCC raced to 142-2 despite ex-Northamptonshire paceman Mohammad Azharullah claiming an early wicket.
But then three wickets fell in three balls in an over from Zain Ul-Hassan including the run out of Ben Curran (65).
From 159-7 in the 17th over, Ben Sears (26no) and Kiel van Vollenhoven (12no) saw the visitors home with one ball left.
George Rhodes returned 4-0-24-2, Ul-Hassan 4-0-30-2 and Azharullah 2-37.
In game two, the MCC never recovered from a three-wicket blast from Brinder Phagura who sent back Curran (12), Marc Lezar (0) and Brandon Gilmour (0) to reduce them to 22-3.
He finished with 3-13 and Azharullah (2-15), Ul-Hassan (2-15) and Rhodes (2-19) kept the pressure on as the MCC were bowled out for 110 in 16 overs.
Westbury made a quick 22 out of 26 in the reply before Fell with two sixes and seven fours and Rhodes (39no) powered the seconds home in just 9.1 overs.
