STUDLEY will be hoping Saturday's 182 run defeat to title rivals Coleshill is just a blip in an otherwise excellent season in Warwickshire Division One.

The Bees, who were missing the in-form Brandon Miller, saw their seven-game run came to an end when they were blown away.

Captain Steve Rose had won the toss and opted to bowl first but Coleshill made 297 all out in 47 overs.

Muhammed Fahim top scored with 116 runs, while Mohammed Usman bagged 53.

Andrew Rhodes took four wickets for the Bees, who saw their reply falter from the start as they were bowled out for 115 in 37 overs.

Rose said: "The guys have played so much good cricket this season I can't criticise them at all.

"We're going to chalk this result up to just one of those games and hopefully we'll bounce back."

Miller should be back for Saturday's home game against Weoley Hill (1pm start).
