REDDITCH CC continued their excellent recent form when they returned from bogey side Worcester Nomads with an 83 run victory in their latest Crusader Worcestershire league Division one game.

Redditch batted first and scored 265 for 7 with skipper Adam Gailey leading the way with 117 well supported by Dan Friedrich with 84.

Nomads were never really in the hunt against a Redditch bowling attack who have bowled well all year.

They were finally dismissed for 182 with Dan Friedrich being the pick of the bowlers with 5-44.

This result follows on from the excellent win last week at Worcester CC and continues Redditch’s recent goof form, moving them above Nomads into seventh place in the table at the half way point of the season.
